Maxïmo Park to Headline NME Awards Tour

Leave it to the Brits to stretch out post-awards show merriment. An alcohol-drenched after party is never enough for those blokes, even if Pete Doherty is in attendance. In keeping with this hedonistic spirit, British new rock bible NME has announced the lineup for the 2006 ShockWaves NME Awards Tour. Headlining will be Warp Records' token post-punk band Maxïmo Park, with Next Big Things Arctic Monkeys, We Are Scientists, and Mystery Jets supporting. Oh so much angular guitar! My ears are melting!
