Handsome Furs Pelt Audiences with Handful of Dates

Handsome Furs Pelt Audiences with Handful of Dates

It might've seemed as though Dan Boeckner (often of Wolf Parade) Handsome Furs spilled his life story to us last month, but he neglected to mention one formative event: the string of late-spring tour dates they've wrapped around Sub Pop's May 22 release of their debut, Plague Park. (Probably because they weren't booked yet.) Following a one-two step around Canada, the lovebirds'll hit the road for a week's worth of East Coast gigs.

As we previously reported, Boeckner was forced to drop out of the potentially amazing Final Fantasy: Online a.k.a. Internet megagroup due to scheduling conflicts, leaving his Wolf Parade cohort Dante DeCaro to slay the Tonberries and earn the rank of Black Mage or whatever.

Handsome family:

04-10 Montreal, Quebec - Green Room
04-11 Ottawa, Ontario - Zaphod's
05-22 Providence, RI - Club Hell
05-23 New York, NY - Mercury Lounge
05-24 New York, NY - Mercury Lounge
05-25 Philadelphia, PA - Khyber
05-26 Hoboken, NJ - Maxwell's
05-27 Boston, MA - TT the Bear's
