The National announces a few tour dates

Recently, we revealed our #1 album of the year 2007. Of course, you probably know by now that that honor went to the Brooklyn-based quintet, The National, and its slow-burner of a record, Boxer.

As of late, the band has been touring around the world, but having completed their European engagement, the Cincinnati-bred boys will be heading over to entertain the Aussies and the Kiwis throughout the month of January.

Still, The National has not forgot about its fellow countrymen. On Feb. 22, the group will take the stage at the Brooklyn Academy of Music as a part of the Brooklyn Next series. Other artists performing their own shows include Soulive and Citizen Cope. Tickets are now on available through the BAM box office.

Dates:

January
15 - Auckland, New Zealand @ Kings Arms
16-17 - Brisbane, Australia @ The Zoo
18-19 - Melbourne, Australia - The Corner
21-23 - Sydney, Australia - City Recital Hall Angel Place w/ Clogs

February
22 - Brooklyn, N.Y. @ BAM Opera House
