Deerhunter will take a break from feverishly blogging to tour very soon, and the Atlanta quintet have now added a European leg to take place later this fall.

The band's next show, however, is tomorrow (August 10) in their own hometown, and it's a benefit to help the city's Burgess-Peterson Academy pay for a new playground for its students. Deerhunter-affiliated acts Spooks and Chopper will open. Thanks to Trey Lindsay for the benefit tip.
