Jimmy Eat World (2008 UK Dates Announced)

[markE]

according to nme news page jimmy eat world are about to release their third studio album.
which is bizarre coz i already own four albums by them and i may even be missing some of their earlier stuff

[Damian]

Yes. Clarity, Static Prevails, Bleed American/self titled, Futures. NME writers knowing nothing? There's a surprise. Whatever used to annoy me about the magazine, at least it used to have SOME incisive writing, SOME people who knew what they were talking about and SOME bits where "the kids" weren't talked to like, well, kids. It's shocking now, absolutely shocking, and current editor Conor McNicholas should be utterly, utterly ashamed of himself.

Great band by the way.

[Assmask]

Yeah, they're really fantastic, I had Clarity but lost it, Futures but lost it, but still have Bleed American and I love it.

Seeing them at Leeds and they are playing TWICE!

[markE]

i got into them late - when futures came out. i have not managed to see them live yet but they are definately on the wishh list. i had hoped they would do a warm up for the festivals but i didn't haear anything.

Yes. Clarity, Static Prevails, Bleed American/self titled, Futures.

And The Singles.

They usually have exclusive B-sides on the singles too...

They were great on the tour last year, especially the Astoria gig. Kind of gutted I can only make Sunday at Reading this year...

[Ady]

Best JEW song?? Mine's 'Kill', can so relate to the lyrics. Great live too.

Going to Liverpool money permitting. Yeahy!!

[Ean]

Going to Birmingham and Brixton( ), although I'll be on me own in Brum.

[Damian]

I have a problem here. Love their records but both times I've seen them live they've been, frankly, dull.

"Chase This Light" is great though.

Last time they toured, they started with one of the slower ones from Futures when they played Birmingham and to be honest they never really got the energy up, but by the time they'd reached London a week or so later, they were opening with something like Bleed American (I think, I can't find a setlist) and it was a really great night.

two booked for london

[skychaserhigh]

i'm really enjoying 'chase the light'

an album that never fails to lift my mood !

wish they were playing in wales

[Ean]

wish they were playing in wales

There's a chance they'll add a Welsh date: they added the Glasgow and Belfast dates in the last week or so.

chase this light is awesome - especially electable (give it up). i can't wait for the tour.
