Got 2 upstairs tickets for JEW on the first London date to sell if anyone's interested.

I hope Man Overboard do a UK tour... I really don't want to pay £89 for them and Polar Bear Club...

TBS tour sounds awesome though!

They've been to the UK twice this year already, once headlining (with Transit supporting) and then supporting Senses Fail.
