Tonight, Denton, Texas rockers Midlake embark on their first North American headlining tour since their The Trials of Van Occupanther LP landed on Bella Union last summer. After this tour ends in March, they're headed to Europe.

Midlake will spend Valentine's Day playing two shows here in Chicago at Schubas. We hope their significant others don't mind.
