Bell X1 returns to the U.S.

It's a little rare for a band to decide to tour in the same foreign country on the same album twice in one year. It is even stranger that a band would consider it after its mode of transportation burst into flames the last time around. So, either the members of Bell X1 don't fear the reaper or they like the U.S. too much to care.

This time around, the Irish quartet will concentrate its efforts on the East Coast, revisiting only two cities from before (with good reason as they've sold out New York’s Bowery Ballroom twice). We hope that they remember to pack like Boy Scouts or not to buy dangerous used equipment from cowboy-hatted country singers.
