Just got this in my inbox…  Steve DiFranco, the former and future drummer for Bad Manners tipped me off to their impending US tour.  Looks like I’ll have to hop in a car to see any of these dates, but it might be well worth the effort.

Check out the stops here.

Steve also hipped me to this Kansas City Star article about his absence from the band and his recent recruitment back into the fold.

UPDATE:  I just found out, from none other than Dave Wakeling, that the English Beat will be joining Bad Manners on this very tour.  Check The Official Beat Space for tour dates.  And thanks again, Dave and Steve for the news.

Aaaaaand… this video of Bad Manners from 1993 feat. Dave Weins from LGB and The Impalers:
