Though Torche are nearly done their leg of Restarter dates with Nothing, the Floridian stoner pop troupe have revealed they'll be back in North American clubs by July. Better yet, they'll be doing the trip with Japanese avant-grind greats Melt-Banana.
A press release confirms that the acts will be teaming up later this year for a string of co-headlining North American concert appearances. While together, they'll be hitting up a number of Canadian venues, with dates lined up in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon and Winnipeg.
There are other Canadian dates on the horizon, though. As previously reported, Torche have also been on tour with shoegaze-leaning Philly outfit Nothing since the beginning of the month, and they'll hit Toronto's Lee's Palace and Montreal's Bar Le Ritz later this week.
Melt-Banana also have a number of North American tour dates lined up before their dates with Torche. A May/June schedule finds them supporting their 2013 LP Fetch, with a Toronto stop on May 17 also set to take place at Lee's Palace. Maybe Torche will leave a message for them backstage.
You'll find info on both bands hefty North American schedules down below. You can also check out Torche's upcoming European dates, which take place ahead of their trip with Melt-Banana, over here.
