My Bloody Valentine announces handful of U.S. tour dates

We've got an odd question for you, dear reader, but don't worry: it’s a simple yes/no. Ready? Okay, here we go. Do you think you've been gazing at your shoes enough lately?

Regardless of your answer, get hyped: the legendary shoegaze rockers of My Bloody Valentine will tour the U.S. this fall.

Sure enough, after playing in Europe this summer and headlining ATP New York in September, the Irish-Brit group will hit some of this country’s biggest cities through October, with a jaunt up to Canada to stop in Toronto.

This will be your first chance to see the kinda-sorta-newly reunited bandmates, who haven’t appeared in public together since their 2007 announcement that they were back together and recording music. That Kevin, Bilinda, Debbie and Colm sure are a mysterious bunch.
