Iconic English post-punks The Fall, AKA Mark E. Smith and mates, have announced a tour Down Under this October.

The “favourite ever group” of legendary British DJ John Peelhave managed to remain active since 1976, their most recent release coming in the form of LP Sub-Lingual Tablet, released back in May – their 31st studio album. Sheesh. With their style continuing to evolve (“always different, always the same,” according to Peel), and Smith’s reputation for cryptic and poetic lyrics, their live act remains a sight to behold.

Do exactly that on Wednesday October 21 at the Metro Theatre.
