Having been denied entry into the U.S. for some of their inaugural tour dates, Wolf Parade offshoot Handsome Furs poured all their frustration and festering energies into a homecoming gig at Club Lambi in Montreal, which is in Canada, which is this magical place where people are still allowed to dance and play music.

And the CD guest of honor? That would be Plague Park, which dropped last week on Sub Pop.

Pending U.S. customs approval, the Furs have two U.S. dates lined up in the coming months, plus one in Canada.

Furs on the prowl:

06-08 Toronto, Ontario - Comfort Zone
07-23 Chicago, IL - Schubas *
07-24 Chicago, IL - Schubas *
