News: Steve’N’Seagulls announce UK tour dates


It’s one of those videos everybody’s seen. Well, 12 million and counting anyway. There’s these hillbilly dudes, one of them arriving on a motorised grasscutter or some such contraption in a beaver hat, playing a mandolin – who’s joined by an acoustic guitarist/vocalist; a banjo player; a double-bassist and a cajon-straddlin’ percussionionist, and they proceed to rip through AC/DC’s Thunderstruck, Cajun style. You know the one, right? (If you don’t, scroll down!)

Turns out, they’re not from the deep south, but Finland. There, on a farm, in a barn, the five donned the silliest outfits they could find, and filmed it. Withing a couple of weeks, the clip had accumulated over five million views. After that rather surprising turn of events, Steve’n’Seagulls (for that is the name of these gentlemen) are gearing up for their first album – Farm Machine, out next week on Spinefarm Records, and the band are preparing for a handful of dates in the UK.

You just gotta go, right? Here’s the dates.
