Toronto’s beloved indie-pop weirdos cootie catcher are hitting the road hard this summer and fall, bringing their effervescent, synth-splattered sound to stages across North America and the UK. The tour is in support of their acclaimed new album ‘Something We All Got‘, out now via Carpark Records — and if you haven’t heard it yet, fix that immediately.
The North American run kicks off June 19th in Kalamazoo, MI and winds its way west through Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Seattle, Vancouver, and San Francisco before landing in Los Angeles on July 5th and wrapping up in Chicago at the Empty Bottle on July 12th. Then come fall, the band — Nolan Jakupovski (guitar, vocals), Anita Fowl (vocals, bass), Sophia Chavez (vocals, synths), and Joseph Shemoun (drums) — crosses the pond for a full UK headline run including stops in Brighton, Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh, Manchester, and more.
This is the same band that already tore through New Colossus Festival and SXSW earlier this year, so expect these shows to be a full-on good time. ‘Something We All Got‘ has been earning serious love from Pitchfork, NPR Music, Paste, FLOOD, Stereogum, and Bandcamp Daily — and for good reason. It’s a record that lives in that magical alternate universe where twee-pop hooks collide with bubbling electronics, lo-fi grit, and three distinct songwriting voices that somehow add up to something deeply cohesive and wildly fun. Joy is basically the fifth member of this band.
