New release by Neil Hannon / The Divine Comedy: Bang Goes The Knighthood

By Natalie Herman

Neil Hannon’s The Divine Comedy has announced that its 10th studio release, Bang Goes the Knighthood is now available for pre-order and will be released on May 31, 2010.

The Limited CD includes the album plus a bonus disc featuring material from The Divine Comedy’s now legendary shows at Cite de la Musique in 2008.

Neil was asked to cover his favourite French songs - in French. You can hear the results on this CD!

The tracklisting is still to be confirmed, but will be around 10 songs.

There will also be an extra booklet with more photos and some thoughts from Neil.

We expect the Ltd Edition to sell out quite fast and we won’t make more so do order your copy soon!

A number of UK tour dates [including the sold out Sugar Club (Dublin) and Tabernacle (London)] are posted at the Tours page. There is also a date for the July “Days Off” festival in Paris.

If the older songs on MySpace are any indication of what the new album will sound like, you’ll want to snatch up your copy tout de suite.
