Following the return to action release of the world is still here and so are we (Ipecac) earlier this year, mclusky has booked dates across Europe, the UK, North America, and Australia in late 2025 and into 2026.

Read a statement about the tour from falco (andrew falkous) below:

nostalgia - which is a powerful drug, it turns out - brought us back to your shores just a couple of years ago. some people got to remember what they were like when they were twenty - their hopes, their dreams, their fully operational knee joints. also, there were attendees who weren’t there the first time out - i know, cos i can count. it was very lovely. the band - well, i, certainly - nostalgia’d all over the place too - it was difficult not to. it was fun (this is an understatement).

well, now we all get a chance to break free from nostalgia, to prove to ourselves that we’re more than the cast of cocoon sporting telecasters. we (the band) get to play the old songs - the ‘hits’ as a much loved grandparent might have it - and the new ones too (well, probably five or six of them over the course of a set, that’s the magic number for ‘new’). you, hopefully, come along and watch, listen and interact as per the social contract of such events. what do you say? the support bands - which we can’t tell you about yet - are great too. i promise to respond to heckles in a british accent which makes anything i say 23 percent funnier (i’ve checked this with nate silver). damien will dance and flex and repeat ad infinitum. jack will be the butt of all jokes (on stage, though not in private). 

hope to see you there, unless you’ve got something better on - but i honestly can’t imagine what that could be.

Super producer of such illustrious bands as McLusky, Nirvana, and Bush, (SERIOUSLY STEVE WTF?) Steve Albini recently said that McLusky is the best band working in England right now. Yeah, that may be his characteristic bravado and showmanship, but it also may be pretty close to the truth. On their third full length, The Difference Between Me and You is … Read more
