Sheffield’s finest jazz-synth-noise merchants Rolo Tomassi are heading off for a slew of UK dates over the next couple of months before settling down  to study hard for their A-Levels. Old friends I Was A Cubscout (XL Recordings) have personally asked them along to support at a couple of dates as part of their own UK tour. Other dates include shows with London  casio-grind kings Trencher (Southern records), Cutting Pink With Knives (Adaadat/Holy Roar) and WhoresWhoresWhores. The band are also performing at a free DrownedInSound.com afternoon show in London with Down I Go (Undergroove), with Holy Roar and Darren Sadler (Rock Sound, Undergroove) DJ-ing.Rolo Tomassi’s untitled EP is available now on Holy Roar Records, and lead to them being one of DrownedInSound’s picks for 2007, and were also named  ‘Ones to watch in 2007′ by Tom Ravenscroft (son of John Peel) in the London Paper, alongside plays on Radio One Rock Show and Steve Lamacq.
