Sleigh Bells Headed To The U.S. & Europe

’Tis the season for Sleigh Bells! No, we’re not talkingabout Christmas. Rather, we’d thought it would be a good time to take a look atthe upcoming tour routing from the noise pop band.

John Davisson – Sleigh Bells
Forecastle Festival, Waterfront Park, Louisville, Ky.

The outing includes stops on both sides of the Atlantic,starting with seven shows in Europe in February. The U.S. portion of the tourkicks off March 1 in Charlottesville, Va., and concludes on the West Coast witha March 29 gig in Anaheim, Calif.

The duo – made up of vocalist Alexis Krauss and guitaristDerek Edward Miller – will most likely fill the setlist with plenty of tunesfrom their fourth studio album. JessicaRabbit was released Nov. 11 by the duo’s Torn Clean label in partnership inSinderlyn.

A review from RollingStone writer Sarah Grant says, “When Brooklyn duo Sleigh Bells arrived sixyears ago, their wild-style hip-hop/noise-punk seemed like an explosivenovelty. Four records into their run, they’re still building on it – from the metalfight song ‘Unlimited Dark Paths’ to the chiming art pop of ‘Baptism by Fire’to ‘I Can’t Stand You Anymore,’ where singer Alexis Krauss goes full Eightiesdiva.”
