Twenty years after his solo debut The Fine Art Of Self Destruction, Jesse Malin will be playing the whole of that album and more, on a short UK tour that kicks off on May 30 at the Hare and Hounds in Birmingham and climaxes on June 2 at Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff, before heading back across the pond for a run of dates. The first US show is on June 15 at Club Cafe in Pittsburgh, PA, and things wrap up on July 15 at the Ardmore in Philadelphia, PA.
The Fine Art Of Self Destruction was about the "personal wreckage when I looked back on my life," says Malin. "From my parents' divorce to failed relationships, broken up bands, dropping out of school, crashing cars, breaking things. It was more of a spiritual journey in some sense. This record is definitely one of my favourites."
