Pitchfork: Menomena Kick Off Summer Tour

Photo by Alicia J. Rose

Menomena are taking their three-guys-playing-a-zillion-instruments live show on the road starting tonight (June 1) in Seattle. After doing the North American thing for a month, the trio will head to Europe in late June and early July for their first ever tour there in support of the late summer/fall European release of Friend and Foe. Most of the first leg's shows are with All Smiles.

The band will return to the U.S. in mid-July for few dates, one of which is at the Pitchfork Music Festival on Sunday, July 15 (tickets available here).
