Pitchfork: Blood Brothers to Tour the U.S.'s West Coast, Southwest

Blood Brothers to Tour the U.S.'s West Coast, Southwest

So whether you're into hardcore or not (and I don't care what a departure Crimes was, it's still pretty raw for my green tea-slurping ass), the Blood Brothers put on a pretty intense live show. Yeah, so the new record features piano, accordion, and cello, but my mom would definitely still refer to it as "a whole lot of screaming and carrying on." However, we hear the kids like that kind of thing nowadays, which is why they'll be happy to hear that the band is planning a West Coast jaunt in early February. Okay, so, dates:

02-07 Eugene, OR - Wow Hall *
02-08 Oakland, CA - I Music Cast
02-09 San Francisco, CA - Great American Music Hall (w/ Beep Beep)
02-10 Los Angeles, CA - Amoeba Music *
02-11 Pomona, CA - Glasshouse *
02-12 Los Angeles, CA - The Roxy (W/ Beep Beep) *
02-13 San Diego, CA - Ground Zero (w/ So So So) *
02-15 Las Vegas, NV - Jillian's(w/ Tender Buttons) *
02-16 Pheonix, AZ - Mason Jar *
02-17 Tucson, AZ - Club Congress *
02-18 Albuquerque, NM - Launchpad *
02-21 San Antonio, TX - Sanctuary *

* with The Chinese Stars and The Mean Reds

Also of note is the band's ongoing effort to compile live footage for a planned DVD. The band's site is asking fans to send in "old and embarrassing" footage to their Seattle headquarters (frankly, we've got a very Justice League picture in our heads right about now). If, however, you have some old and embarrassing footage of Paris Hilton, it's old news. Sorry.
