Pitchfork: Minus the Bear Rock North America

Are Minus the Bear ever NOT touring? Throughout the rest of April, and most of May, they'll crisscross North America, hitting such hotspots as Fargo, North Dakota, Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Binghamton, New York. Many dates will be with Thursday on the Shirts for a Cure Tour, benefiting a breast cancer charity, not Robert Smith (that's the Shirts for The Cure Tour). They'll also play strings of shows with Suicide Squeeze labelmates Chin Up Chin Up and Russian Circles, as well as stints at both Coachella and the Bamboozle.
