Pitchfork: Dressy Bessy Begin National Tour

Summertime means kickin' back and keeping it breezy, twisting open a couple of wine coolers with your t-shirt and cranking up the new Dressy Bessy, which, by the way, dropped last Tuesday. But wait just one second-- their fourth album, Electrified, isn't entirely the kind of sugar-sweet affair the Denver band is known for. It's a little meaner and a little more rockin'. So maybe you should make that a beer.

Dressy Bessy have a tour planned in support of Electrified, and also plan to release the requisite limited-edition version of the album on CD and colored vinyl. The tour dates:
