Double Dutch in the UK - Minny Pops and Rats on Rafts

Article written by Matt H - Nov 19, 2011

Minny Pops - sooo not what you're thinking

Signed to Factory in the early 80s, pleasingly stark and dour avan-garde electro-pioneers Minny Pops have been away from the stage for 30 years. But now they're back for a short tour of England, joined by rather good 80s revivalist guitar poppers Rats on Rafts - whose The Moon is Big album we gave the thumbs up to a couple of months back.

Dates are:

Sheffield, Plug - 19 January 2012

Leeds, Brudenell Social Club - 20 January 2012

Manchester, Gulliver's - 21 January 2012

London, Upstairs at the Garage - 23 January 2012
