Unless you're reading this from a beach somewhere, I suggest you hold off on your vacation plans, because Japandroids, The War On Drugs, TV On The Radio, Broken Social Scene, Bass Drum of Death, Tapes 'n Tapes and Handsome Furs have all announced extensive tour dates spreading across the United States. A lot of the dates really kick into high gear in August, so if your June and July are looking busy, hopefully you can still squeeze in some concert-lovin' before fall even thinks about starting.
While you pen in some dates, check out the latest from Handsome Furs, "Repatriated." You can expect their latest album, Sound Kapital, on June 28.
This player (SoundCloud) didn’t survive.
