Watching a band slowly grow into a bit of a phenomenon is an interesting process and we've been doing that with Everything Everything, from the first listen to "MY KZ YR BF" over 18 months ago (when it was on the tiny Young & Lost Club label) to the heady days of now. They're about to round-off a successful stint on the NME Awards Tour 2011 by playing the last gig in Brixton tomorrow night (19th) - but you can't get tickets right?

Wrong! Everything Everything have just announced some larger-scale gigs to round off the "Man Alive" activity, starting with Manchester on 10th May, followed by Birmingham on the 11th and back to London (Shepherd's Bush) on the 12th.

Tickets are on sale from Monday morning and demand is expected to be massive, as it doesn't look like they'll be playing many festivals (but it's early days yet).
