There are still another 32 weeks to go before the final Ash 'A to Z Series' single hits the shelves but, before that happens, the Downpatrick trio have opted to sideline the excellent A to Z touring idea from last year (for now anyway ) with some more typical dates in the late spring. Tickets went on sale today (Jan 12th) and prices are around the £15 mark. The tour kicks off in Southampton on April 19th and takes in numerous big cities en route to the closing date at the Camden Ballroom on May 4th (full list below).

As reported recently, single number 8 in the aforementioned set of vinyl/downloads is released on January 18th and called 'Space Shot'. You can watch the video right here - it's rather jolly. This seems a good time to remind you of the subscription offer on the band's website. If you sign up to buy all 26 singles by midnight on January 24th, you are entitled to a bonus unreleased, exclusive and very sexy new Ash track called 'Gallow's Hill' (sent to subscribers the same week as 'Space Shot'). So if you fancy being all smug and cocky in front of your mates, sign up now (well, after you've clicked below for tickets of course).
