Pitchfork

Three acts on the rise, three new LPs (two of them debuts), a dozen or so West Coast kids-- it all adds up to one honey of a fall tour, and it kicks off tomorrow night in San Francisco.

The Players: Portland pop rock couple Viva Voce (touring behind their recent Barsuk LP Get Yr Blood Sucked Out), L.A. rock troupe Silversun Pickups (touting their Dangerbird-stamped full-length debut, Carnavas), and PDX fivesome the Kingdom (supporting their Arena Rock full-length debut K1). Sweet Jesus, that is a lot of rock for your buck.

Come November, Silversun Pickups will ditch their tourmates and ride off into the sunset with the recent wolffather and his buds in Wolfmother.
