The Pains of Being Pure at Heart Book Fall North American Tour, Return to Vancouver

BY Alex HudsonPublished Aug 12, 2010

Having been one of the breakout bands of 2009, Brooklyn fuzz pop darlings the Pains of Being Pure at Heart haven't slowed down in 2010. Back in June, they released a single (the excellent "Say No to Love") and toured with Surfer Blood. They're currently in Europe, and are already gearing up to hit the road once again, with a handful of new North American tour dates including a stop in Vancouver.

The outing has 11 stops, mostly along the West coast, which balances things out after their June East coast tour. They've also got a hometown show with the Blow.

Unfortunately, there is still no word of a sophomore Pains of Being Pure at Heart full-length.
