If you don’t want to spend the first week of the New Year hearing ‘Auld Lang Syne’ over and over, perhaps you might be more interested in seeing something with a bit more edge.

Determined to leave the cruel Welsh winter behind them, Future of the Left will be coming to Australia for a tour in the first week of January 2014.

The four-piece rockers have announced a run of dates in support of the Friday October 25 release of their new album, How To Stop Your Brain In An Accident.

The album, which had funds raised for it through a pledge drive that achieved its goal in a mere five hours, shows off the comedic side of the band. Songs like ‘I Don’t Know What You Ketamine’ and ‘Things To Say To Friendly Policemen’ showcase some of the band’s cheeky lyricism.

Future Of The Left will be playing at the Annandale Hotel on Friday January 3.
