Bikini Kill's Tobi Vail Hits the Road With the Old Haunts

Bikini Kill's Tobi Vail Hits the Road With the Old Haunts

Olympia, Washington trio the Old Haunts are in the midst of visiting haunts old and new on a U.S. tour. This is drummer Tobi Vail's first time on the road since her days in Bikini Kill, so these performances promise to be pretty special, especially the ones at such colorfully named venues as Stab Mountain and Spazzatorium Galleria.

UPDATE: DUE TO MISINFORMATION FROM KILL ROCK STARS, WE WERE LEAD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS TOUR WAS TOBI VAIL'S FIRST TOUR SINCE BIKINI KILL. IN FACT, SHE WAS ON THE OLD HAUNTS' LAST TOUR.

But getting Vail some air isn't the main reason for this tour. That'd be the Old Haunts' new album, Poisonous Times, which is out right now on Kill Rock Stars.

The Old Haunts' next show is tonight (April 29) in Phoenix.
