Delays big in Mexico

Delays say their Mexican fans gave them a huge reception, and announce UK dates in September with Eddy TM DJing at some shows.

You have to love the Mexicans. No, really you do. And if you need a specific reason to do so, use this. Delays have been telling the NME just how popular they have become over there. See, they've got great music tastes those Mexicans.

Here's what the band's Greg Gilbert told NME: "We knew we were big there but the passion and energy of the fans blew us away, it was totally like Beatlemania but in a Mexican wrestling arena which is even cooler than it sounds. Knowing what big wrestling fans we are we were given countless Mexican wrestling figures and masks by the fans, and the venue gave us lifetime passes. It was a great taster of proper stardom and we fucking loved it!"

Whether they'll receive such high levels of adoration at their upcoming UK dates I don't know, but they really should. These will be great gigs, and Mr Eddy TM is DJing at some of them, so do go if you can.
