Midlake tour closes out the summer :: Music News :: Articles

Somehow, the final days of summer 2007 are just around the corner. Depending on who, where and how old you are, maybe it’s depressing and maybe it isn’t - likelier the former if you didn’t swim but once and failed to make it out to any decent shows (besides your buddy’s open mic gig at in some wretchedly hot bar basement).

Ah, refreshing! The folks in Midlake will make the fall transition easier during a short headlining tour this September, continuing to promote their second album, The Trials of Van Occupanther, released over one year ago on Bella Union Records. Beginning in Tennessee, the Texas-based synth-rock quintet has plans to move east-to-west, with halfway stops at its home state’s Austin City Limits and World of Sound festivals.
