Handsome Furs announce summer tour

By Alex Young on May 19th, 2011 in News, Tour

Handsome Furs return with their third LP, Sound Kapital, on June 28th, and the husband and wife duo of Alexei Perry and Dan Boeckner will support the release with a summer tour. Following their on-going trek through Europe, the band will return stateside for a trio of shows in their native Canada in late June. Then in July, they’ll play the Des Moines, IA-based 80/35 festival before embarking on a nine-date swing that includes shows in western Canada, and the United States Midwest, plus an appearance at the Capitol Hill Block Party in Seattle. The trek is currently set to end August 1st in Toronto.

But before Boeckner joins his wife for all that, he must first play what may be Wolf Parade’s final two shows ever. The band will first play Sasquatch! next weeked before wrapping up in Vancouver at the Commodore Ballroom on May 30th.

Pre-orders for Sound Kapital are now ongoing via Subpop.com and you can check out the album’s lead single, “What About Us”, below.
