Brand New Shins
With a new album out this month, The Shins are gearing up for their first tour in nearly two years.
The quartet is due to release Wincing The Night Away, its third album for Sub Pop, January 23.
They’ll launch a brief tour in Minneapolis February 8 at First Avenue, covering the Midwest and Pacific Northwest regions over the next two weeks.
The 12-stop itinerary includes two gigs in Lawrence, Kan., and will conclude with a hometown show at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Ore.
Prior to the tour, the band will do a series of promo appearances coinciding with the album’s release, including a slot on “Late Night With David Letterman” and in-store performances in New York City and Los Angeles.
