Pitchfork

For the second summer in a row, the party experts at Vice have assembled a series of tours in collaboration with malt liquor Colt 45 under the name "Tales of Colt 45". These free, RSVP-only shows will visit most of the same venues in L.A., Chicago, Atlanta, Philly, and NYC each month from May through August, creating residencies of sorts at each location.

Each month of the tour will feature a different lineup of artists. Thunderheist and ex-Simian singer Simon Lord's new project the Black Ghosts will take the mantle in May, followed by Drop the Lime aka Curses! in June, and a Matt & Kim/the Death Set double bill in July. The August lineup has yet to be announced.

Only the May and July "Tales of Colt 45" dates are available at this time, and you can view them after the jump along with a fair number of other dates from the Black Ghosts, the Death Set, and Matt & Kim.
