Sound Team, Midlake, Cold War Kids Tour
Pitchfork whipping boys Sound Team are on the road right now, and they've brought a couple up-and-comers with them.
For a fairly new band, California's Cold War Kids have been playing and touring like seasoned (and much decorated) veterans. The Sound Team trek follows the simultaneous release of their EPs Up in Rags and With Our Wallets Full (on Monarchy Music), a spring tour with Two Gallants, and a summer tour of the U.S. and UK with Tapes ‘n Tapes and Figurines.
Also on board are Midlake, the Denton, Texas five-piece who have been making bandwidth waves with their single "Roscoe" from the full-length The Trials Of Van Occupanther. The Midlakemen have had a busy year in their own right, touring the UK and Europe with the Flaming Lips and the Earlies.
All three will be making a stop in Chicago for Lollapalooza. Said Cold War Kids, "This will be exciting and humorous for those of us who ten years ago, grew up in an age when Lollapalooza meant Tool, Dinosaur Jr. and Jane's Addiction. So come on out and ditch Kanye's set to see ours." Ha ha.
