A second run of Chris T-T UK gigs has been confirmed for next month. Chris and Thomas White (Electric Soft Parade/Brakes) will pile into a load of co-headline shows in May and June. Check the Gigs page for listings.

Today’s Independent Music Magazine has a feature on Chris and Frank Turner, from last month’s USA tour. It’s online here.

Thank-you to everyone who made it to a gig on the UK tour, despite crazy snow, football matches and this year’s weird Easter. Much fun was had, especially collecting photos of Tony Benn and West Wing characters, supplied by the promoters from the band’s rider request.

Watch this space: tomorrow we’ll announce a new bunch of dates, including some supports, a co-headline tour with an old friend and some more festival confirmations.

Listen to BBC6Music tonight from 8pm. Chris and the band will be playing live in The Hub for Tom Robinson’s show. Gary Crowley is sitting in for Tom, who’s not well. Get better soon Tom!

Steve Lamacq had Chris as ‘Featured Artist’ on his Radio 2 show this week. Listen again here. It’s at 40 minutes but listen to the whole show, it kicks arse.

The Capital UK tour starts tomorrow (Tues) in Manchester at the Night & Day. It’s Chris’s first ever full band Manchester headline. If you want to come to a gig but haven’t bought tickets yet, it’s still worth buying in advance, rather than hoping to get in on the night.

Capital is out in the UK today, on Xtra Mile Recordings, distributed by Vital/PIAS. Find it in a shop near you or buy it now on iTunes. You can also get it now on Amazon or Banquet Records or Play.com. Listen to excerpts of every song at Play.com.

Although it won’t be hard to find a free download copy, please pay for your copy of Capital!

The ‘A-Z’ download single is out today at Play.com and 7Digital. Meanwhile XFM have added ‘A-Z’ to their evening playlist, so keep an ear out if you’re an XFM listener.

Capital also got another four star review, this time in Sunday Times Culture.
