This Week's Tour News

When: January 11th, 14th, + 20th, February 19th
Where: Living Room (kids show), Maxwell’s (w/Titus Andronicus), Market Hotel (w/Fucked Up & Pissed Jeans), Apollo Theater (w/M. Ward)
More Dates
Thoughts: Vivian Girls aren’t really touring until they head for Europe in mid-February but since they have a shit ton of shows coming up in the New York area I thought I’d throw them here so you knew about all of these shows. I am most intrigued by Sunday’s Living Room performance for kids and the one with Fucked Up and Pissed Jeans at Market Hotel (which was moved from its original location!). The trio of hip Brooklyn ladies also has a new 7" out with three new songs, one of which is below.
