Pitchfork: Interpol, Spoon to Kick Off European Tour Tomorrow

Interpol, Spoon to Kick Off European Tour Tomorrow

Recently signing an international distribution deal with Matador, Spoon will join fellow Matadorians Interpol on a tour through Western Europe. Kicking off Wednesday, the tour will take most of April, before both bands go their separate ways. Interpol will play two festivals in the States in May and June before going back to Europe to play some summer festivals, as well as shows with Coldplay and U2. Meanwhile, Spoon will tour with the Clientele throughout North America. On the last two dates, in their native Texas, Sally Crewe and the Sudden Moves will join their sometimes collaborators for the last two shows. Spoonmen Britt Daniel and Jim Eno have worked with the Sudden Moves in the past.

And don't forget, Gimme Fiction comes out on May 10 via Merge (and May 9 internationally via Matador), shortly after the end of the European tour. Enjoy:
