British rock trio, BLAENAVON, have announced plans for a major North American tour. The trio will accompany English rock band, The Wombats, on their upcoming Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life US tour, slated to get underway January 8 at Washington D.C.’s 9:30 Club and continue through the month. For up-to-the-minute details, please visit blaenavon.com/#tour.

Following a packed summer of festivals on both sides of the pond, and the surprise release of the ‘Prague ‘99’ EP - Blaenavon furthered their year as main support on labelmates, Alt-J’s, UK seaside tour in September (including a stop at London’s 02 Arena).

The band also released of two special covers earlier this year. Taking on Harry Styles’ ‘Sign of the Times’ the band strip things back to piano, double bass, and a standout vocal performance from frontman Ben Gregory, while their rendition of Radiohead’s ‘High and Dry’ sees them bring in some help from their friends, Blaine Harrison (Mystery Jets) and Marika Hackman for a classic and beautiful rendition. Blackbook Magazine notes “…these stripped down interpretations bring all the emotion decisively to the forefront, with their version of “Sign,” especially, uncloaked to its rawest essence.” The covers are available via the band’s YouTube.

Blaenavon’s debut LP ‘That’s Your Lot’ received critical acclaim on release this Spring – while also entering the Official UK Charts as one of the highest new entries. They’ve also toured the world rampantly, most recently having finished off a UK run as alt-J’s main support as well as completing their own headline runs on both sides of the Atlantic, their reputation as a genuine must-see live act cemented with slots at Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Bestival and Lollapalooza this Summer.
