Ratatat adds more U.S. dates

Sometimes people want to dance. To really loud music. In their rooms. By themselves.

Of course, we aren't those people. But if we were, we'd be getting our solitary groove on to Ratatat, possibly wearing sunglasses and practicing air guitar. But again, this is all hypothetical.

Like many normal people, we prefer to shake it at large musical venues with numerous people in attendence, and maybe a little strobe action to boot. And like those bedroom dancing weirdos we mentioned earlier, Ratatat is still the music of choice. Lucklily for us all, the duo is taking its beat-ridden electrona-rock on the road in support of its latest, LP3.

In addition to the group's already-released tour dates, Ratatat will make 15 additional stops throughout the summer.
