Dungen to Return to U.S. for Longer Tour

Last month we reported that Dungen had an easy tour-- just a handful of dates (which included Intonation) in the US. But there's one thing about the Swedish: they never ever do nothin' nice and easy. Instead the band will polish off their current Brazil/UK tour and launch right into a fairly extensive US/Canada tour starting in Hoboken in mid-September, snaking their way around the country and finishing off back in New York in October.

This fuller, meatier tour schedule is probably a result of their fantastic Ta Det Lugnt finally seeing US release on Kemado Records the first week of August. Or it could be their seizure-inducing video for "Panda," which debuted on MTV2's Subterranean two weeks ago and looks a lot like the kind of thing you see if you squinch your eyes closed when listening to Dungen (floating hands, explosions, lots of cuts, red stuff).
