Fresh from blazing a trail through North America on a 6 week tour which culminated in a triumphant 7 night residency at New York's Town Hall (where Bright Eyes were joined on stage by guests such as Lou Reed, Jenny Lewis, Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, Ben Kweller, Steve Earle and Norah Jones to name a few), Bright Eyes will return to the UK at the end of June for an appearance at Glastonbury Festival. In July they release the second single, a double A-sider with `Hot Knives' and `If The Brakeman Turns My Way' (out 9th July) from current album `Cassadaga' (Top 15 in the UK, Top 5 in the U.S.), play T in The Park and Oxegen festivals and two headline shows at London's Shepherds Bush Empire and another at Birmingham's Academy.
