This Year’s Model
NMA will warm up for the tour with a pair of shows August 7-8 at the Clash Club in Sao Paulo, Brazil, a show August 17 at Hobbits in Somerset, U.K., and a set August 18 at the Beautiful Days Festival in Devon, U.K. The band launches the North American leg of their trek September 5 at the North Star Bar in Philadelphia and will spend the next month in clubs around the U.S. and Canada, including the Rock And Roll Hotel in Washington, D.C. (September 8), the Hi-Ho Lounge in New Orleans (September 13), the Knitting Factory in Los Angeles (September 17), DNA Lounge in San Francisco (September 20), The Note in Chicago (September 29), and Bug Jar in Rochester, N.Y. (October 3).
The European leg of the tour gets rolling October 15 at The Waterfront in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Other countries on the band’s schedule include France, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Austria and Germany.
In mid-November, the band will kick off two weeks of shows in the U.K., beginning November 13 at Wulfren Hall in Wolverhampton. Other stops include Glasgow, Aberdeen, Manchester, Cambridge, Southampton, Bristol, Nottingham and London.
Tickets for North American and some European and U.K. shows are available through links on the band’s web site.
Although NMA have never had a Top 20 hit in any country over the course of their 27 year history, they have managed to sell millions of albums and build up a stalwart following among their devoted fans.
High is the band’s 10th studio release and is due to hit the streets September 4. The first single, “Wired,” will be available for download in early August.
