Plug Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Young Legionnaire, the brain child of Gordon Moakes (Bloc Party) and Paul Mullen (yourcodenameis:milo), released their brilliant and acclaimed debut album ‘Crisis Works’ on Monday 9th May worldwide (10th May in the US) on CD, 12” and digitally via Wichita Recordings. Coinciding with the release, the band have announced their first full headline tour, to take place in September and October. These dates will be preceeded by appearances at Tramlines and Sonisphere festivals and a newly announced run of UK shows with Dananananaykroyd in June. This week the band embark on a series of European shows, following a week of UK dates at the Camden Crawl, Live at Leeds and supporting DFA 1979 on their comback shows at The Forum. YOUNG LEGIONNAIRE initially started following a chance meeting between Paul and Gordon during the recording sessions for the Print Is Dead album in 2006, where Gordon guested on the track ‘Wait a Minute’ with Paul and the rest of YCNI:M. Some more meetings and conversations followed, eventually leading to their first rehearsals together as a band in 2009. Now joined by full time drummer Dean Pearson, 2011 has seen the band already become one of the acclaimed rock bands of the year.
