Good work This Town Needs Guns, who are off to the other side of the planet in February and March 2011, no doubt to, for ever after, end all of their sentences with a question mark? Even if it doesn’t need one? Like this?

Racially-based slurs and clichés aside, the great news is that they’ve been asked to play the touring Soundwave festival, which stops off in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. They’ll be joining the somewhat unlikely line-up which includes Iron Maiden, Slayer, Slash as well as less metallic acts, but equally heavy ones, like High On Fire and Melvins. Let’s hope they don’t act like GALAHS whilst they’re over there! Maybe they’ll be touring in a UTE? Sampling the local TUCKER?

Straight after that, the band are off to America for some further world-conquering, with dates beginning in Los Angeles. TTNG (as they are known) are always dark horses, quietly getting on with things, but relentlessly working away. Good work TTNG.
