This song is ridiculous in the best way possible, sounding like the Ronettes if they had a heavy diet of indie rock — it’s the second single off of their new album. Being a fan of this band for a number of years, it’s refreshing to hear them get better with each subsequent album. While their latest album, Wild Young Hearts, is already out in the UK, it gets a US release on 22 September. The band has a short US tour this summer, all on major markets. Dates below.
7/22 Los Angeles, CA Spaceland - Club NME 7/27 Portland, OR Berbati’s Pan 7/28 San Francisco, CA Rickshaw Stop 8/1 Brooklyn, NY Bell House 8/3 New York, NY Santo’s Party House 8/7 Chicago, IL Back porch at HOB (Lollapalooza After party) 8/10 Boston, MA Great Scott 8/11 Philadelphia, PA M Room 8/12 Washington, DC Rock and Roll Hotel
