The Faint Kick Off Tour, Add Dates
This weekend, Nebraska sex-dance set the Faint will embark on a fairly massive tour. What's the occasion? Why, we're just a few short weeks away from Fasciinatiion, the band's first LP in some four years, which is due on their very own blank.wav label.
The tour kicks off in scenic (no, really!) Des Moines Sunday night, and, thanks to a truckload of recent additions, will find the band feeling Fasciinatiion off in Europe and Australia throughout the rest of the summer. Kill Rock Stars dance-rockers Shy Child, Pretty Girls Make Graves/Blood Brothers offshoot Jaguar Love, and batshit metal geeks Genghis Tron have all been pegged to open a smattering of the Faint dates in the States, which are listed for your dance-ticipation down yonder.
