I wouldn't be long then. I remember Jarvis saying in the Different Class deluxe booklet that albums come out before the tour to capitalise on it. Or maybe it is a more warm-up tour or something.

No Manchester this time, although I guess he can't keep playing the same venues. I'll make the journey to Blackpool if funds allow nearer the time!
He must have an idea of the new album if they ahve set dates; even if it a warm-up before the album. Did Jarvis say something about recoring the album this Februrary?

Yep, when i spoke to him after the manchester gig he said he hoped to record the album in jan/feb and have it released by march/april - but you can automatically add a couple of months on...you know what he's like.
Hmm, my previous ''prudent'' estimate of the first week of May looks to have been a tad optimistic. Should have known!
A studio update from him would have been/be nice. I wonder if the album has been mixed and mastered yet. Rough Trade should have sorted out a website for him - how often is that myspace page updated, twice a year?
The fact that they've announced a brief tour would suggest that a tracklisting, release date and artwork should be released in the next couple of weeks.
It's a bit of a short tour when you take into account it's to promo the new album. I wonder if there are more dates to come or if some festival appearences may be on the cards. Glasto would suit me just fine!
A new date in Paris on the 4th of june. Already available : http://plateforme.fnacspectacles.com/place-spectacle/manifestation/Pop-rock-JARVIS-COCKER-BAJAR.htm
