The most righteous Butterfly Explosion have found themselves a new drummer and are all set to make a triumphant comeback in Whelans on the 16th of March (thats the day before Paddys day so don't pretend like you won't be already out on the piss. As you can see from the post they will be supported by the excellent Lights, as well as Subplots who I look forward to familiarising myself with.

10 yo-yo's is what you would normally spend into Whelans on a weekend so no complaints there but awesome tunes are to he had this time. Get on it.
