They'll play Dublin's Ambassador on April 7, Galway's Roisin Dubh on April 8 and then head up to Belfast where they'll appear in Mandela Hall on the 9th.

The band have recently replaced departed drummer Michael Tapper and expanded to a four-piece. Their sophomore record Brain Thrust Mastery will be released in March, following up their 2005 debut success Love And Squalor.

Tickets for the Ambassador show are priced €25 and are available now from usual Ticketmaster outlets.
