Stone Gods heading back to Brum

Stone Gods, fronted by Midlander Richie Edwards are to make a return to Birmingham Academy next month as special guests to Southern US rockers Black Stone Cherry.

The tour calls in at Birmingham on Wednesday December 10 and comes just a month after they supported Aussie band Airbourne at the same venue.Stone Gods, who reformed from the ashes of The Darkness, made their Birmingham debut at the Academy 2 in June and have since toured regularly, supported Velvet Revolver and appeared at the Download Festival at Castle Donington.

Their latest single, Don't Drink The Water, is out on release now.

It has already been an incredible year of achievements for Stone Gods. Their debut release, the Burn The Witch EP, sold out within hours of going on sale and hit the UK Rock Chart at number 2.

The debut album was released in July to critical and commercial success and to top it all, Stone God received two nominations for the 2008 Classic Rock Magazine Awards (Best New Band and Album Of The Year).
