Female supergroup Wild Flag released their self titled debut album to a rapturous reception last week and sold out their only London show for 2011 in the blink of an eye. The limited live dates would be rather tragic, but they have just announced a full UK tour for the end of January 2012 that climaxes at the Electric Ballroom on February 1.
