Ugly Heroes European Tour

Following the success of their debut album last year, Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent and Red Pill aka Ugly Heroes are set to embark on their first European tour. The tour includes a couple of UK dates, notably at Band On The Wall in Manchester on Thursday the 6th March.

This is a group I've been following for some time and Apollo Brown's production for even longer, so I'm definitely looking forward to this live show. If you want to experience some great Hip-Hop from the Mid-West of The States, get yourself down.

Full list of appearance dates below. Also, have a listen to "Long Drive Home" from the album after the date list.
