After the successes of recent album ‘And’ which came out September 2007 through Xtra Mile Recordings, Jonah Matranga returns to the UK for an exciting and exclusive tour.
Throughout May, Jonah will be bringing an incredibly special show of both solo and electric sets to a town near you. As well as performing tracks from his critically acclaimed album ‘And’, Jonah will be treating fans to some of his prolific back catalogue as well. With support band Attention: (featuring ex members of previous outfit Gratitude) acting as his backing group, Jonah will be playing songs from his past incarnations: the seminal Far, Gratitude, New End Original and onelinedrawing.
These amazing and special shows will further highlight Jonah’s unique talent and contribution to the post hardcore independent scene.
