Ratatat shows love for West Coast and Brooklyn

Brooklyn-based electronirock (rocktronica?) duo Ratatat has scheduled a scant five tour dates this summer in anticipation of its new album, LP3, out July 8 on XL. The record follows the duo's 2007 self-released Ratatat Remixes Vol. 2.

The fun begins in Seattle on July 7, a few hours shy of when LP3 hits the street:

July
7 - Seattle, Wash. @ Chop Suey
8 - Portland, Ore. @ Holocene
10 - San Francisco, Calif. @ Slim's
12 - Los Angeles, Calif. @ Echoplex
15 - Brooklyn, N.Y. @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
