You'll have to wait a little longer to see Alex and Miles in action

The Last Shadow Puppets will not tour until October, it has emerged.

The duo, comprising Alex Turner and Miles Kane of Arctic Monkeys and The Rascals, are riding high in the midweek charts with their album 'The Age Of The Understatement'.

But talking to BBC 6Music this afternoon (April 23), Kane revealed that their day jobs mean fans will have to wait a little longer to see the boys perform live.

He said: "We're going to play live at the end of the year, in October. The Rascals' album is out June 9. We start doing loads of gigs now and festivals over the summer and September. Take a couple of weeks off then me and (Turner) will do four gigs in England, a few in Europe and a couple in America. Then I want to do a second Rascals album in November.”

Would do anything to see these guys live!!! Id go as far as saying I prefer them to the Arctic Monkeys and The Rascals. Seperate And Ever Deadly is definitely my favourite song off the album which means its immense because the whole album is class!!!
