The Besnard Lakes Announce North American Dates with Band of Horses, Land of Talk, Wintersleep

BY Whitney TamPublished Aug 18, 2010

This year has been a busy one for the Besnard Lakes. They released their Polaris Music Prize-nominated third album, The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night, contributed to the score for the Mark Ruffalo-directed Sympathy for Delicious and played Jimmy Fallon. It was also recently announced that they would be taking part in Canada's National Parks Project, with the likes of Shad, Sarah Harmer and Apostle of Hustle, among others. To add even more to their plate, the Montreal rockers have lined up a slew of new North American dates.

The Besnard Lakes will be making quite a trek across the U.S., but be sure to catch them at their Canadian stops, which include such cities as Toronto, Montreal, London, Ottawa and Halifax. Along the way, they will play with Band of Horses, Jenny and Johnny, Wintersleep and Land of Talk.
