For the first time in, oh, ever, Sweden's synth-led string-pullers the Mary Onettes are heading to the States for a few live engagements.

Still sorta fresh off Labrador's U.S. release of their self-titled debut last fall, the intrepid Swedes will start their journey in Los Angeles May 7 and spend much of the month heading across the country before landing in Boston May 24. There's a trio of home continent dates that follow, but shucks, you Europeans are probably used to that sort of thing by now.
