M.I.A. tour? Great. And who's opening, you say? Well, Holy Fuck! Man, sometimes, this stuff just writes itself.

Yes, Toronto's foul-mouthed electro-rockers and the Sri Lanka/London sound-clasher have lined up a number of joint club dates around North America later in the spring. Once both make their ways to Coachella, they'll link up for a bunch of gigs in late April and early May, with a few additional dates in June for good measure. Blessed curse words, is this ever a good combo.

And, hey, while we're making with the puns, M.I.A.'s not exactly gonna be living up to her stage name through the rest of the spring, with a few more festivals and a bunch of North American club dates along the way. Holy Fuck will precede their time with Ms. Arulpragasam with a tour of the UK and Europe.

In addition to their joint dates, both Holy Fuck and M.I.A. have fairly fresh remix-laden releases to their credit: Holy Fuck for "Lovely Allen", and M.I.A. for "Paper Planes". Also, Holy Fuck likes Sally Shapiro and getting their nails done, and M.I.A. likes Chuck Taylor.
