Bludgeoning Chicago synth-punk band Mahjongg (yeah, like the Chinese game) is set to embark on a month-long North American tour. The tour, supporting the band’s upcoming fourth album The Long Shadow of the Paper Tiger (out July 20th on K Records), will be hitting clubs throughout the Midwest and West Coast this July.

It begins July 9th in Mahjongg’s hometown, heading west for four dates in California mid-month. The band will go north from there, stopping in Vancouver before crossing back over to the Midwest and finishing things off with two dates in Madison on July 28th and 29th.

Online ticketing will be handled by Ticketmaster; see the full list of dates below.
