Arab Strap celebrate 25 years of their album ‘Philophobia‘ at Future Yard on 9th June…. quietly. Not wanting to live too long in the past, yet still wanting to mark the key birthday of their seminal album.
The Philophobia Undressed tour will feature the album in full, but straying away from the nostalgic decadence often found amongst album tours, will be performed by just the two core member of AS– Malcolm & Aidan with a guitar or two, some drum machines and probably a digital Mellotron – as the pair sing old songs about being young, in intimate surroundings and, in some cases, visiting towns they haven’t played in a long, long time.
