"Usually I would pass even reading the music blogs that are all Independent Music!!! But this one was actually good because it did not seem like you had to be a scenester knowing the secret handshake to be allowed to read it. They have a good collection of artists from all over the map which is always what I like to see and they have this funny ad running on there site to bring (+44) to Singapore." - Chris, webmaster of mysitestinksbutyoursiscool.com

Due to some scheduling conflicts, The Gutter Twins will be postponing and/or cancelling some of their upcoming U.S. dates in July. The seven shows from July 24th (Baltimore) to August 1 (Detroit) will not be taking place at this time. Unfortunately, this means that Ed Harcourt will not be playing any of those previously mentioned dates on the tour EXCEPT for the July 10th show at The Roxy in Los Angeles. For the lucky New Yorkers, Ed's added a show at Rehab (formerly Club Midway). All his solo shows are still on as well. Check out the new dates below.
Also, check out this video clip that Ed shot himself, filmed at his home in London. He found an interesting way to pass the time while autographing some limited edition booklets for Newbury Comics in Boston.
