Pitchfork

Those charming lasses in the Pipettes will spread the love across the world in the coming months, as they have announced a tour of the UK and Europe in April and May. That trek follows their previously reported trip to our shores in March, which has been expanded by one date in Brooklyn.

Of course, the Pips will hit SXSW for a series of shows, including the Pitchfork Music Festival / Windish Agency party, which, as you know, is taking place Friday, March 16 at Emo's and Emo's Jr. Girl Talk, Deerhunter, Crystal Castles, Rjd2, Menomena, the Ponys, Do Make Say Think, Simian Mobile Disco, Fujiya + Miyagi, Beach House, and Marnie Stern are all also on the bill.
