Indeed the 30th anniversary celebration is finally happening 28 May in Dublin at Royal Kilmainham Hospital. Here’s to 32 years as a band! Unfortunately the US Gigs from last Fall have been cancelled so at this time the Dublin party is the only one. Lucky you to everyone who is attending!

Vinyl & CD versions will be available on November 25 via Amazon & ANTI- (& Plateau in Ireland) while a digital version of the EP will be available on December 3 via iTunes. You can hear the song now at RollingStone.com.
