Following a scheduled autumn UK and European tour that includes stops at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London and Hallé St Peter’s in Manchester, the band will travel across the U.S. and Canada throughout January and early February. According to concert schedules, the North American leg opens on January 8 at Songbird in Washington, D.C., before heading down to the Arts Center in Carrboro, North Carolina, and Aisle 5 in Atlanta.
The routing continues westward through the American South and Southwest, stopping at the 29th Street Ballroom in Austin, Texas, on January 12, followed by the Valley Bar in Phoenix, Arizona, and the Soda Bar in San Diego, California. The trio will then play Zebulon in Los Angeles on January 16 and move up the Pacific Coast to the Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco, The Miniplex in Arcata, California, Polaris Hall in Portland, Oregon, and Baba Yaga in Seattle, Washington.
Canadian fans will have multiple opportunities to catch the group live. The tour crosses the border for a performance at the Fox Cabaret in Vancouver, British Columbia, on January 23. Later in the month, the band heads into the Midwest and Ontario, playing the 7th St Entry in Minneapolis, the Rumba Cafe in Columbus, Ohio, the Moondog Cafe in Detroit, and Longboat Hall in Toronto on January 31. The North American trek wraps up in February with shows at La Sala Rossa in Montreal, Deep Cuts in Boston, Tubby’s in Kingston, New York, the First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia, and a final performance on February 6 at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn, New York.
