Rest up, kids, because a
high-energy tour is hurtling your way soon. Arguably the cutest pop quintet ever to come out of Omaha (see above), Tilly and the Wall is heading out first thing in July in support of it's new album O.
The new record is Tilly and the Wall’s third full-length
release since 2004 on Team Love, Conor Oberst’s record label. Fun fact: Two Tilly members were in a band with Oberst before he was Bright Eyes. Omaha, stand up!
The first single
from the record, “Pot Kettle Black,” a head-bobbing anthem about talking smack,
is available for download here. New Zealand pop band The Ruby Suns will open the shows below starting July 22.
