Damon Gough, better known to the masses as Badly Drawn Boy, will release his new album, Born In The U.K., on October 17 via Astralwerks. Gough has lined up a few North American dates in support of the album, and by a ‘few’ I mean seven, including two dates each in NYC and LA. The dude’s not even bothering to stop in Chicago on his way from East to West, but I’ll try not to hold it against him…

Watch the video to “Nothing’s Gonna Change Your Mind” below.

Here’s the dates:

10.10.06 – Boston, MA (Paradise)
10.11.06 – New York, NY (Hiro Ballroom)
10.12.06 – New York, NY (Hiro Ballroom)
10.14.06 – Toronto, ON (Mod Club)
