Lady Sovereign Announces Summer Tour Plans

According to Sov's official website, she was recently in the studio putting the finishing touches on two final tracks to the Straight Up Cheeky which is due for a late Summer release (probably late August). While we have little in the way of a tracklist, we can gather that 18 tracks have been written-- not all of which will make it onto the album-- and that Basement Jaxx produced no fewer than two of them.

More U.S. club dates will probably be announced on Sov's summer swing. Her peoples have divulged that New York and Chicago are just two rungs in a limited eight-show U.S. club tour, which will stretch out to a full stage tour following the release of Straight Up Cheeky. In addition, we can expect a limited 12" U.S.-only EP with a few of Sov's singles and some exclusive tracks. Goal! Dates:

07-01 London, England - Fabric
07-08 Chicago, IL - Sonotheque
07-13 New York, NY - Knitting Factory
07-15 Dour, Belgium - Dour Festival
07-22 London, England - Diesel Awards
07-23 London, England - Finsbury Park
07-29 London, England - Club NME @ KOKO
