People On Vacation Return – album and UK tour details UPDATED

Indie pop-rock duo People On Vacation are back with their brilliant new album The Chronicles Of Tim Powers. The two Texans funded the release through a hugely successful PledgeMusic crowdfunding campaign and as a testament to their commitment to fan interaction, they even named the album after one lucky pledger!
