Stone Gods hit the road with Airborne in November

Hot on the heels of two nominations for Classic Rock Awards, Stone Gods – the ex-Darkness boys without the ego problems – have announced a month-long UK tour to come in November, in the company of Antipodean rockers Airborne.

Sacrificing the high-camp braggadocio of their former incarnation for broad-base classic rock appeal, Stone Gods celebrate the old-school rock and roll aesthetic with a focus on fun and good-time vibes.

Even if their new album Silver Spoons & Broken Bones isn’t the sort of thing you’d buy, they deliver great entertainment value in a live setting – so if you fancy an evening of rock action accompanied by a few beers (or maybe more than a few), you could do far worse than catch Stone Gods on one of the following dates:

• 1 Nov – Cardiff, University
• 2 Nov – Bristol, Academy
• 5 Nov – Birmingham, Academy
• 6 Nov – Sheffield, Octagon
• 7 Nov – Liverpool, Academy
• 8 Nov – Manchester, Academy
• 10 Nov – Dublin, Vicar Street
• 11 Nov – Belfast, Limelight
• 13 Nov – Inverness, Ironworks
• 14 Nov – Dundee, Fat Sams
• 15 Nov – Glasgow, Barrowlands
• 17 Nov – Newcastle, Academy
• 18 Nov – Leeds, Metropolitan University
• 19 Nov – Stoke, Victoria Hall

• 22 Nov – Oxford, Academy
• 23 Nov – Norwich, UEA

You can hear some of their material on the obligatory MySpace page, and there’s a proper Stone Gods website where you can read the band’s blog and more.
