Handsome Furs Kick Off Summer Tour
After being delayed once, Dan Boeckner and Alexei Perry (aka Handsome Furs) are extra-ready to take Plague Park to the U.S. Their previously reported North American tour (they also have quite a few dates elsewhere) kicks off tomorrow night (July 21) in Ottawa. The Montreal-residing duo has even added some more U.S. dates in September.
