PICTISH TRAIL IS GOING ON TOUR WITH STEVE MASON
+ SUMMER FESTIVALS INCLUDING GREEN MAN*
*CONTINUING A STALKER-ESQUE RUN OF APPEARING AT GREEN MAN EVERY YEAR
SINCE IT BEGAN FOR NOW 17 CONSECUTIVE YEARS
Whether it's a trusted friend, a good lawyer or a snug pair of jockey shorts, we all need a little bit of support sometimes – and Steve Mason, former frontman of legendary Scottish psychedelic eclecticists the Beta Band and now a critically-acclaimed solo artist, is no exception. That's why he has called upon none other than our very own Johnny Lynch AKA Pictish Trail to join him for 16 dates at venues around the UK in November (full list below). Not for deep-and-meaningful chats, sound legal advice nor to cradle his balls – we don't think so anyway – but rather to warm-up his audiences with high-quality music and gregarious chat. And warm them he shall, as if they were nestled softly in his sweaty palm.
Johnny will perform as a two-piece together with multi-instrumentalist Suse Bear (Tuff Love), and preview new material from his next album, due in 2020, as well as revisit Pictish classics in new, intimate forms, stripped-down all the way to their jockeys. Ahead of the Steve Mason tour, Pictish Trail still has a number of summer dates ahead including his annual appearance at the Green Man festival in Wales (continuing a run of appearing at Green Man every year since it began in 2003), as well as British Sea Power's Krankenhaus festival in Barrow-in-Furness, and a Lost Map Showcase taking place in London this Friday. Join him. JOIN HIM.

YER ACTUAL JASON LYTLE (GRANDADDY) AND GRASSCOURT ARE THIS MONTH'S POSTMAP CLUB ARTISTS
If you'd asked us this time last year to draw up a list of our top-three all time heroes with whom we dream of working one day then it would have looked something like this: 1) Van Damme 2) Stallone 3) Madge out of Neighbours (not sure what her real name is). Now admittedly Jason Lytle from Grandaddy is none of the above, however, he is definitely still one of our all-time heroes – he'd be somewhere around 7th place, sandwiched between 6) Ant and 8) Dec. Anyway, point is: DREAMS CAN COME TRUE. Long as you don't aim too high.
We can't honestly believe that Jason not only played at out recent Howlin' Fling festival on the isle of Eigg and made everybody cry lil' babies, but has also agreed to let us release some of his musics – a version of the Grandaddy song ‘Go Progress Chrome’, which will be exclusive to our subscribers – as part of our PostMap Club subscription service. Unbelievable! 🤯
AND THERE'S MORE. Sign up now, and you'll also this month get brand new tracks by Stroud's proud and indeed only 360° makers of kaleidoscopic electro-acoustic audio-visual wonderment Grasscourt, as part of their Connect series of releases. Unbelievable-r!
A reminder of the full benefits of being in the PostMap Club while we have you:

WHAT YOU GET:
- Postcards (obvs)! At least two collectible PostMap postcards sent to your door at the end of every month – each containing download codes for a mixture of brand new music on Lost Map, alongside a random selection from our archives

- Monthly newsletter! Containing hot goss / farmyard shite
- Discounts! On other Lost Map releases, merchandise and gigs
