MEMBERS of the top US indie rock bank We Are Scientists have published photos online as they embark on a tour set to include a gig in Barrow.

The band are embarking on an epic 24-date tour for later in the year, after their appearance at Kendal Calling this summer.

The Buckle and Nobody Move stars are currently touring in support of their fifth album, Helter Seltzer, and are back in Britain from September.

Among some prestigious venues on the list is the library in Barrow on Friday, November 4. Tickets have sold out.

Excited staff at the library posted the band's picture on Facebook.

New York-based, but formed in California, the band has toured extensively with the likes of the Arctic Monkeys and Maximo Park since releasing their debut album With Love and Squalor, in 2005, to critical acclaim.

Their second album, Brain Thrust Mastery, charted at number 11 in the UK album chart, with two top-40 singles, After Hours and Chick Lit.
