Kids in Glass Houses are back! The Welsh quintet have announced the THIS 15 SMART CASUAL tour which is set to take place in October 2023.
“We really can’t wait to hit the road in October and return to some much-loved corners of the UK. We’ve missed being on stage and sharing that experience with our fans more than words can say, so we truly can’t wait to get back out there and see some familiar and, hopefully, new faces. It’s been too long,” says the band.
To celebrate the 15th anniversary year of their debut album Smart Casual, the release has been remixed and remastered by Romesh Dodangoda with limited edition vinyl’s and cassettes available from the band’s webstore.
“Writing, recording and touring Smart Casual was our John Hughes coming-of-age era and it’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years. Getting back together with the boys in a room and celebrating those songs that carry so much meaning for us has been such a privilege and it’s been so humbling reading and speaking to people who have an affinity to those songs,” explains vocalist Aled Phillips. “We’ve wanted to give the album a wider vinyl release for a long while and to have our very talented friend Romesh remix and remaster the album to celebrate 15 years has been an incredible bonus. I genuinely believe it sounds better than ever and I’m excited for everyone to hear a fresh perspective on it that enhances it.”
