The Jesus And Mary Chain offer local bands support slots on their February UK tour

Scottish band said support act Eagulls had to pull out 'due to other commitments'

The Jesus And Mary Chain are offering local bands the chance to support them on their February UK tour after support act Eagulls had to pull out “due to other commitments”.

In a post on Facebook, the band announced that they were looking for acts to support them on each day of their nine-date tour and provided an email address for anyone interested to contact them on. “If you feel that you’d fit the Jesus and Mary Chain support and would like to apply, please email to feb2015tour.jamc@gmx.com,” the post read.

The band’s management also asked any applicants to provide “a link (website/ soundcloud/ bandcamp/ youtube) to your music” as well as “any visuals that you might have (music videos / photos etc.).” They added: “Please do not bombard us just with MP3s!”
