Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele Announce Fall Tour

One EP and one full-length album into his career, kitsch-pop showman Dent May is as proficient with his eponymous instrument as ever. Good for him, and good for the rest of us too, because he'll be taking his quartet of merry minstrels on a tour of the U.S. and Canada this fall.

Tickley Feather and Colour Revolt will join Mr. May for a date apiece on the October leg of his tour, and Crypaticize and Fiery Furnaces will be his fellow travelers for most of the November dates:
