To celebrate their second album, Try To Be Hopeful, having recently come out The Spook School have a couple of shows in Edinburgh and one in London next week. The nights of October 26 & 27 will see them play The Banshee Labyrinth in Edinburgh's Old Town before they head off to the DIY Space For London on October 29 (support from Joey Fourr and Wolf Girl). Tickets for all three of these shows can be obtained here.

Following on from these dates the band will head out on an 11 date headline tour of the UK & Ireland, including the ninth iteration of Dundee's Book Yer Ane Fest, in aid of the Safe Tay charity, tickets for which can be found here. Musos' Guide plans to be there for that one - £25 for over 30 bands + a charity profiting seems like something pretty worthwhile.

The full tour dates are as follows:-

Dundee's charity punk/hardcore fest organised by Make That A Take records will be back for its ninth iteration over the final weekend of November this year.

Homegrown acts The Murderburgers (new album due out October) & The Spook School will appear across the three days beside an international line-up including Will Wood, The Exhausts, Great Cynics, Forever Unclean, Make War and 30 or so other bands.

Limited earlybird tickets at a mere £20 are currently available here.

Taking place at Buskers and The Vestry the event sets out to raise money & awareness for the Safe-Tay, a voluntary water safety and drowning prevention organisation dedicated to promoting Water Safety.
