Cloud Room to Tour With Pernice Brothers
Indie pop vets the Pernice Brothers and NYC upstarts the Cloud Room have both been touring like fiends in the months since their new albums came out, and we've turned a blind eye. You see, apparently we forgot to report either of the bands' previous tour plans, and that pissed both bands off so much that they decided to tour together, in an insidious plan to ensure they get their share of well-deserved Pitchfork screenspace. And obviously, it worked. But this is a one-time thing, folks: Louis XIV, you could carry Pavement's original lineup cross-country on your heads and we wouldn't print a damn word about it. (Okay, no, maybe we would.) Here are the dates:
08-14 Cambridge, MA - The Middle East
08-24 Portland, ME - Space
08-25 Providence, RI - Century Lounge
08-27 Norfolk, VA - Station Two
08-28 Chapel Hill, NC - Local 506
08-29 Richmond, VA - Alley Katz
08-31 Atlanta, GA - The Earl
09-01 Tallahassee, FL - Club Downunder
09-02 Orlando, FL - Wills Pub
09-03 West Palm Beach, FL - Respectable Street Cafe
09-04 Jacksonville, FL - Jack Rabbits
09-07 Baton Rouge, LA - Spanish Moon
09-08 Houston, TX - Fat Cats
09-09 Austin, TX - Cactus Cafe
09-18 Champaign, IL - Cowboy Monkey
09-21 Grand Rapids, MI - Ten Bells
