EMA Lines Up North American Tour, Plays Montreal and Toronto

BY Alex HudsonPublished May 19, 2011

We've already said that EMA is "blowing up," and with her debut album out in the world via Souterrain Transmissions, the hype is likely to only keep building. In support of Past Life Martyred Saints, former Gowns member Erika M. Anderson is getting ready to hit the road for a North American tour.

The outing has two separate legs, starting on the West Coast in June and moving on to the East Coast in July. The latter leg includes two Canadian dates: Montreal on July 22 and Toronto the next day.

The June dates are with Dale Earnhardt Jr., although this leg doesn't include any stops in the Great White North. See the dates below, and check out the mind-bending video for "Milkman" at the bottom of the page.
