Sleigh Bells Announces Spring Tour

Sleigh Bells has spilled the beans about what the noise pop duo will be up to in between playing South by Southwest next week and taking the stage at Tampa’s inaugural Big Guava Music Festival in May. If you hadn’t guessed by the title of this post, they’ve got a bunch of new dates!

Vocalist Alexis Krauss and guitarist Derek Edward Miller are hitting the road to show off their third studio album, Bitter Rivals. Produced by Miller, the LP was released in October via Mom + Pop Music.

You can catch Sleigh Bells at SXSW at Austin’s The Belmont March 14. After that the duo is off to New Orleans for an appearance at Mardi Gras World for the Buku Music + Art Project.
