Baio Tops The Ticket

Known simply as Baio, Vampire Weekend bassist Chris Baio has lined up a headlining tour beginning in early February.  Coming up a bit sooner are December shows in Mexico as well as a Los Angeles gig opening for Chvrches.

Baio recently worked with tastemakers such as DJ Tennis, Sondrio, Samuel Proffitt and Baile to released remixes from his debut album, The Names, released in September on Glassnote Record.  Called The Names Expansion Pack, the remixes are available at all major digital retailors.
