Tours of Note: Grand Archives
April 15th, 2008 - by Eddie
Holy crap I’m excited. I’ve been listening to the Grand Archives since they released their EP last year and have been screaming about their awesomeness ever since.
Today, thanks to a random desire to download the iLike sidebar for iTunes, I discovered the dates for GA’s tour, one of which is in Allston, Massachusetts.
The band was started by Mat Brooke, who is pile of indie-rock genius (former guitarist from Carissa’s Wierd and Band of Horses). But with GA, there’s more of an uplifting vibe that you get, which culminates in the track below “The Crime Window.”
Below are the tour dates. I’d buy tickets now because this might be the only time you can see this band for a low price of $12 (what I just paid thanks to a debt-ridden Amex card).
