The Scaramanga Six and Les Flames! are heading off on tour around the UK in April. Determined to outdo each other in every department - be it drinking, rocking or even in the style stakes (I know who my money's on), the two Wrath bands will do battle in a number of venues near YOU.

Why bother though? Well, The Six will be touting a brand new long player called 'CABIN FEVER!' featuring a dozen brand new tracks from the recent Tim Smith sessions. Les Flames! will have an as yet undisclosed EP containing music of which is an affront to rock!

For the first time there will be a spate of gigs north of the border in bonny Scotland and of course the usual tight squeeze onto the stages of many a southern venue. They've also bought a lavish tour van - still with the remenants of the Post Office logo on the side - and it is RED like the blood of satan!
