First Aid Kit Makes Short Visit

Only four dates for First Aid Kit are scheduled for stateside, starting tonight. And to top it off, today the Swedish duo released a stunning version of Simon & Garfunkel’s “America.”

The song is the title track of the duo’s Record Store Day 10” vinyl, which includes acoustic versions of songs from the duo’s Stay Gold album.

The duo supports Samantha Crain on four dates before returning overseas:

Nov. 18 –  Denver, Colo., Ogden Theatre
Nov. 20 – Minneapolis, Minn., First Avenue
Nov. 21 — Plymouth, Wis., Bradley Theatre
Nov. 22 – Chicago, Ill., Vic Theatre

“Record Store Day” is Black Friday, Nov.28 at participating indie record stores across the country. For more information, visit RecordStoreDay.com.
