(Classic Rock) Blues Pills have confirmed their first UK tour for November in support of their self-titled debut album, which was launched via Nuclear Blast this week.

The American-Swedish-French quartet offered a stream of all 10 tracks ahead of release last week, saying they'd included a cover of Chubby Checker track Gypsy as a tribute to the 60s rock'n'roll pioneer.

They explained: "We used to play it at soundcheck, then, slowly, it worked its way into our setlist. Back in the day, a lot of bands covered each other for the right reasons. We wanted to honor Chubby and bring the song back to life the Blues Pills way."

Their album artwork is also 60s inspired, making use of a painting created by Marijke Koger-Dunham during the era. Read about that and grab the dates here.
