We’ve got a lot of time for Palehorse here at Thrash Hits – not only did we award their long, long-awaited comeback album, Soft As Butter; Hard As Ice a very respectable five out of six, but we made sure we booked them to open our second Thrash Hits Presents night back in May. Well, they’re heading out on an extended UK jaunt tomorrow, and we’re very much of the opinion that you need to attend and suffer from some serious sonic wounds.

Joining them on their 9-date tour are fellow Londoners, Nitkowski. We first saw Nitkowski in the same fetid basement we first saw Bastions, and since then they’ve been hovering around our peripheral vision. Never a band to be easily pigeonholed, they’re definitely one of the more interesting (and experimental) bands operating in the UK today. As far as counterparts for Palehorse on a UK tour go, they’re a damn fine choice.

That poster for the tour does look lovely – even if it is rather uninformative. Luckily, we’ve got a few more specifics.
