Johnny Foreigner Heart British Airways, Tour

20th March 2008 | by Aidan Williamson

Having returned (more or less) intact from their recent SxSW performances out in Austin, Texas, Johnny Foreigner are wasting no time in filling up their tour schedule which now includes performances with Blood Red Shoes, The Subways, !Forward Russia! and the Mai Shi.

Speaking in an email to Strange Glue, the band said [censorship theirs] “We would also like to give a big F**K YOU to British Airways for being absolute [insert choice word here]. We'll never fly BA again for doing everything they could to ruin SXSW for us. The details are boring, but the result was no sleep for 3 days. We destroyed it nonetheless! Don't fly BA!”

So, back to the tours, here they be:
