Down N Outz on the road

Joe Elliott's Down N Outz have confirmed a UK tour in December, to support their second album The Further Adventures of...

The Def Leppard frontman first teamed up with Paul Guerin, Guy Griffin and Keith Weir of the Quireboys, plus drummer Phil Martini, in 2009. Their aim remains to showcase the under-appreciated work of Mott The Hoople and associated artists.

The Further Adventures of… followed 2010’s My Regeneration. Elliott – who’s currently touring the US with Def Lep and at work on new music – has confirmed they’ve laid plans for a third album, to contain their first original tracks.

Tickets go on sale at 9am tomorrow (June 27).

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
