The North American tour kicks off Aug. 28 with a set at Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and concludes Oct. 11 at La Zona Rosa in Austin, Texas.

There’s also shows at Aladdin Theatre in Portland, Ore. (Sept. 2), Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland (Sept. 30), Sommerville Theatre in Boston (Oct. 4), Webster Theatre in New York (Oct. 8) and Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (Oct. 14).

Band leader Sergio Dias says he can’t wait to jump back on stage and start rocking out.

“I love playing this music live. It is the best thing possible. When we were playing at the Pitchfork festival it was like looking at yourself when you were a kid trying to mumble the words to I Wanna Hold Your Hand in English and not understanding the words,” Dias said of playing 2006’s Pitchfork Music Festival at Chicago’s Union Park.

“There weren’t many Brazilians there but the kids were singing our songs in Portuguese. Playing with this band live is amazing. I can not describe anything better other than maybe going into space. It keeps me young.”

Os Mutantes, who have influenced artists including Beck, Devendra Banhart, David Byrne, The Flaming Lips, Of Montréal and Kurt Cobain, formed in 1966 and released its debut, self-titled album in 1968. The band went on hiatus in 1978 and didn’t team up again until 2006 (despite Cobain begging the band to reunite and tour with Nirvana).

Haih or Amortecedor is set for release Sept. 8 on Anti Records. The band’s last album before that was 1974’s Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol.
