With an eight-piece live band in tow and irrepressible beats behind them at every turn, Andy Butler's Hercules and Love Affair will embark on a North American headlining jaunt this fall that kicks off in earnest October 2 in San Francisco.

The scattered dates mercifully avoid school nights almost entirely, ensuring you the most bang for your buck and at least a day thereafter to recover from the inevitable banging in your head. Andy's got a few DJ sets to attend to this month before he and the gang get bodies moving in October, and one date off in Italy in the middle of November.

09-20 Miami, FL - The Vagabond (DJ set)
09-21 Chicago, IL - The Hideout Block Party (DJ set)
