The Shins Announce U.S. Tour
On February 8, in the very spot where Prince once went crazy, heard doves cry, and saw you laughing in the purple rain (Minneapolis' First Avenue club), the Shins will launch their American tour in support of their new album, Wincing the Night Away (due January 23 on Sub Pop, if you don't have that etched on the underside of your eyelids already).
They'll wince their way across half the country over the course of the following two weeks, after which they'll wince on over to England. Sub Pop says this is the "first leg" of the trek, so expect the second leg to appear sometime soon.
And just a reminder: the band will perform "Phantom Limb" and "New Slang" on "Saturday Night Live" on January 13.
