Postmodern Jukebox Announces Album & North American Tour
The group wasn’t messing around when it said it had “BIG NEWS!!” A post on Postmodern Jukebox’s website calls the fall excursion its biggest North American tour yet. The outing follows a 75-date international run, which launched in February and runs through June. If ticket sales overseas are any indication, you’ll want to get your tickets to the North American tour right away, as the website boasts that the international schedule is almost completely sold out.
The band has been delighting fans for years by re-imagining modern hits in styles from the past. The new album released on iTunes today, Swing the Vote!, includes the band’s take on “Are You Gonna Be My Girl,” “Call Me Maybe,” “Sk8er Boi,” “Cry Me A River” and “Bad Romance.”
Check out a video of Postmodern Jukebox’s version of Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl,” featuring Robyn Adele Anderson.
