The Long Blondes spread glamour on international tour :: Music News :: Articles

Like any good band, The Long Blondes really appreciate their fans, hence why they announced new U.K. tour dates after all their March shows sold out. Then they started feeling really bad that the rest of Western Europe was being left out, so they expanded their April dates throughout the European Union. After that, they realized they were leaving the (former) colonies in the cold and marked their calendars for some late spring shows in the U.S. and Canada.

The “Pretty in Punk” group is touring to support its upcoming LP, Couples, coming via Rough Trade on April 7. If the nigh-impossible acquisition of March tickets is any indicator, this band is worth exporting.
