APRIL TOUR SUPPORTING TOMMY KEENE
As much as we like having Tommy play bass and sing w/us (as he did so ably during our UK tour in December), he's got his own record about to "drop" on February 17th. It's called "In The Late Bright" on Second Motion Records. We'll be doing a leg as his support band. It's looking something like:
Mon 20 - Austin
Tues 21 - Dallas
Wed 22- Sudden Moves veering off course for 1 show in KC
Thur 23 - Chicago
Sat 25 - St Louis
Sun 26 - Memphis
Stay tuned!

For good measure: POP MATTERS gives 'Your Nearest Exit...' a really nice review:
http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/69990-sally-crewe-the-sudden-moves-your-nearest-exit-may-be-behind-you/ Cars and boys, the primary lyrical interests (read obsessions) that fueled
the staccato post-punk engine of singer/guitarist Sally Crewe’s two
previous long players,
Drive It Like You Stole It (2003) and
Shortly After Take-Off (2005),
are still in evidence on
Your Nearest Exit May Be Behind You.
This time around, however, relationships take a front seat, while the
automobile is used less as a metaphor for love than an escape pod from
life’s troubles. One notable exception is Crewe’s wonderful ode to her
Lotus Elise on “Call the Police”. Backed by her ever-changing band the
Sudden Moves, which consists here of George Duron on drums and bassist
Matt Baab (since replaced by Tommy Keene), Crewe, the Austin-based
ex-pat from Yorkshire, has delivered another infectious blast of
streamlined indie-pop that brings to mind the cool swagger of early Joe
Jackson. Jagged guitar and a skanking stop-start rhythm section provide
the foundation for Crewe’s whip-smart lyrics such as the catchy
lovelorn lines found on “Magnet” ("Your like a magnet / I’m just a
little paper clip"), one of the albums many highlights. Great stuff!
