NYC's Grave Ives just released her super rad new album Janky Star last week — seriously, go listen if you haven't yet — and now the alt-pop phenom is taking her new tunes on the road with her first-ever headlining tour that'll see her hit Toronto and Vancouver this September.
Ives will play Toronto's Drake Underground on September 12 and Vancouver's Fox Cabaret on September 24. Check out the rest of the dates below.
Alongside the tour announcement, Ives has also shared a new video for Janky Star highlight "On the Ground," directed by her former teacher Sarah Magenheimer. In a statement about the video, Magenheimer said:
Grace was one of my students who eventually became my assistant and friend.I have been rooting for her for years, so in a way this video is a love letter to her, a way of showing how much I see in her and how truly incredible I believe she is. This video is also a celebration of music videos as an art form. I referenced Warhol's work for MTV and Deee-Lite's videos to honor the way in which this humble form has acted as a Trojan Horse, bringing experimental moving image art into homes across the world. I love the punk vibe of this medium and this video embraces its young wild history.
Check out the "On the Ground" video, plus Ives's upcoming tour dates, below.
