About this Event

The Simpletone



New Model Army, the legendary global underground cult band from Bradford, embark on a tour in support of their brand new album Between Dog and Wolf. The album is filled with atmospheric musical textures while sacrificing none of the band's famous passion.



Statement from the band:

Following a routine knee operation in January New Model Army's drummer Michael Dean suffered post operation complications which necessitated the postponing of the band's European March dates which are now rescheduled for October.



Following further serious complications, It has become clear that Michael will need further time to recuperate and he will not be recovered for the UK shows in April. In order not to disappoint fans, the band have selected Andy Woodard, from Adam Ant's band, to join as a stand-in drummer.



Said Michael, "When it became clear my leg would not allow me to do the April shows, we realised that we would need a stand-in and selected Andy as the best candidate. In the meantime we've been working together on new songs, which should be out later this year, and I'm looking forward to when I can play live again, which I hope will be soon"



Said Andy “This is a very special opportunity and I am excited to be able to play these shows whilst Michael recuperates.”
