Japandroids Announce North American Tour

Published Jun 06, 2011
It's been a while since we heard from fuzzed-out Vancouver duo Japandroids, but the dudes will once again be a melodic force to be dealt with when they hit the road for a lengthy late summer tour. Though they haven't released any new material since the "Heavenward Grand Prix" single, the third of a proposed five seven-inches to tide fans over before they follow up 2009's Post-Nothing, here's hoping the boys bring some new tunes to the North American tour, which kicks off with a hometown gig on August 27.From there, the troupe will make several Canadian stops, including in such cities as Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton and Halifax. The band will be bringing fellow two-piece pop rockers Bass Drum of Death along for most of the trip, which also includes a pile of U.S. stops. If they share equipment, they could probably just all hop in a hatchback. Think green, fellas. Think green.
