Poor Moon to Head Out on North American Tour

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Aug 8, 2012

Earlier this summer, Seattle-based folk pop troupe Poor Moon announced they would be hitting the road with Sub Pop labelmates Beach House to support their self-titled full-length debut. Before that stretch of dates starts up, though, the Fleet Foxes offshoot will play some headlining shows in Canada and the U.S.

The newly tweaked tour schedule now starts up September 20 with a hometown show in Seattle, which will be followed by a performance at Vancouver's Media Club on September 22. Just over a week later, the band will start the trip with Beach House, which, as previously reported, hits up Toronto and Montreal mid-October. Beach House, meanwhile, play Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom without Poor Moon's assistance on October 1.

You can peep Poor Moon's complete schedule down below.

Poor Moon hits retailers August 28, and the band are teasing the upcoming release with another song sample. They previously offered up album track "Holiday," and now they've unveiled "Birds." You can stream and/or download the sweet and supple Down South strummer down below.
