Veteran new wave/post-punk band Modern English will mark their 40th anniversary by touring the US this June and July.
For each of the tour’s 19 dates, Modern English will perform their 1982 album, After the Snow, in its entirety. In a statement, frontman Robbie Grey said, “Recording After the Snow with Hugh Jones as producer was an incredible experience. To say it changed our lives forever would be an understatement. The band wants to bring this experience to a live audience as we play the album in its entirety for the first time. We want to bring a creative and memorable atmosphere to a tour which will be very special for us.”
Tickets to the upcoming dates are available here.
