Grizzly Bear Kick Off North American Tour
The Grizzly Bear den will be empty for the next month, as the band kicks off an extensive North American tour tonight in Philadelphia. Dirty Projectors will lend support for much of the first half of the trek, with the latter half handled by San Francisco's Papercuts.
Grizzly Bear have three spring festival appearances on the calendar as well; they'll perform at Coachella in California on April 29, ATP vs the Fans in England on May 18, and Barcelona's Primavera Festival on May 31.
As previously reported, CSS will follow Girl Talk in remixing Grizzly Bear's "Knife", and there's a chance that the track may be released on a tour-only 7". According to NME.com, Grizzly Bear plan to return the favor with a CSS cover.
And speaking of "Knife", the video for the Yellow House number is nearly complete, thanks to the folks at Encylcopedia Pictura.
