Neon Neon To Play Free Instore In London Tonight

July 24, 2008

Neon Neon will play a free instore at Rough Trade East in London this evening (July 24th).

The band, which is fronted by Super Furry Animals' Gruff Rhys, released their new single 'I Told Her On Alderaan' last week.

Wristband collection for the gig will be available an hour before doors open at 6.30pm and will be handed out on a first-come-first-served basis.

As previously reported, Neon Neon were among the twelve acts nominated for the Mercury Music Prize on Tuesday (July 22nd).
