The Notwist announces summer and fall tour dates

There are a lot of bands out there that could probably use a six-year hiatus. We’re not going to name any names, but they’re out there. And they know who they are. The Notwist is not one of those bands. But hey, if it works, who are we to judge?

After the critical acclaim of 2002’s Neon Golden, the German band decided it might go back to the drawing board to possibly add another subgenre to its “grunge-influenced electronica-metal, indie rock,” and returned with a vengeance for The Devil, You + Me.

Perhaps the long break also caused The Notwist to arrange a massive, continent-spanning tour. Regardless, you can soon check the band out in Denmark, Utah and a number of other places.
