Dean & Britta arrived on this side of the pond with just drummer Jason Lawrence meaning that they'd be performing the songs of Galaxie 500 in the format of Galaxie 500 - as a three piece. The first show was at The Workman's Club in Dublin on Friday night...

• There was a short Q&A interview in the Irish Independent
• Here's some video clips on YouTube of the band performing Tugboat, Decomposing Trees and Fourth of July

Next stop was Stereo in Glasgow

• Spools Paradise has a review "From the second Wareham came on stage the scene was set for an old friend coming home"
• There's some video clips of Don't Let Our Youth Go to Waste and Listen, the Snow Is Falling

Then on to the Leeds (not found any links yet - email me any reviews, pics or videos)

• Fisherman's Jive Arse Slippers has a short but sweet review saying that they "capture the concentration of the [...] crowd with their Velvet Underground influenced dreamy pop with simplicity and minimalistic pop songs"

And last night at The Ruby Lounge in Manchester:

• Folly of Youth has a bittersweet review along with some videos (Strange and Tugboat), pictures and a snap of the setlist.
• mrjaytaylor tweeted a couple of live audio clips from the venue - Snowstorm and Tugboat

I'm off to Brighton tomorrow so expect more. If anyone has (or comes across) anything to add to this post either leave a comment or email me.
