Panda Bear Reveals Earth-Shattering Three-Date Tour
UPDATE: Tour Is Actually a Gargantuan FIVE DATES LONG
With Person Pitch already poised for a year-end list takeover (we know, it's not even March yet, but we can't contain ourselves), Panda Bear has announced a whopping three-date tour that doesn't kick off for another whopping four months. But whatever dudes! We're still five whopping shades of excited right now.
UPDATE: Thanks to reader Aaron Savage, we have learned that Panda Bear has two English dates scheduled as well: one in London on March 8 and one in Manchester on March 9.
Noah Lennox, as the zookeepers know him, leaves the panda den on June 21 in search of bamboo and merriment. Hopefully he'll sate his appetites in Baltimore, Philadelphia, or New York City, because that's it for his present travel itinerary. Afterwards he returns to the den to get back to work on the next Animal Collective record or play croquet or do whatever he does while listening to Beach Boys records in his free time.
As previously reported, Person Pitch razzle-dazzles 'em on March 20 via Paw Tracks. FatCat also treats U.S. and Canadian record-buyers to a 12" of "Bros" on February 21.
Meanwhile, Noah's partner in Animal Collective crime, Avey Tare, hits us with his previously mentioned collaboration with ex-Múm gal Kria Brekkan on April 24. It's called Pullhair Rubeye and Paw Tracks claims all responsibility for this one as well.
Bring bamboo:
