Sons and Daughters to Tour With Decemberists

The newest release from the co-ed quartet, who lunge gleefully between folk, rockabilly, and dance pop, fleshes out the scuzz of 2003's seven-song mini-LP Love the Cup with new tricks and some extra hooks. And even as we speak, S&D;'s video for the single "Taste the Last Girl" is on MTV2's "Spanking New" list.

As for their stage show, the band picked up major steam last year after touring with Franz Ferdinand and before that with the likes of Clinic. Decemberists, hang onto those coattails! Dates:
