Caribou Plots North American Tour

Caribou at Slim's, from the HAD Archive

We were already pretty damned psyched about the prospect of a new Caribou record on the horizon. As such, we were even more stoked to learn that the band has gotten around to plotting a tour in support of the forthcoming Swim, and it's a doozy. Over the course of May and June, the band will cover the better part of the US and Canada, and even make a stop in Mexico! More importantly, they've lined up a one two punch at the Bowery Ballroom and Music Hall of Williamsburg in New York, and a stop at the Independent in San Francisco. It's been a while since we've seen them out on tour, but we can assure you that it's well worth it!

Tickets for New York go on sale Friday at noon. (1 and 2)
