Lovers of hesitant band names, take notice! (Or at least, take some tepid, initial notice, maybe? Well, just agree to feel it out, at least.)
Quasi is almost semi slightly halfway ready for a maybe supposed tour of the UK and Europe, maybe. Sam Coomes, Janet Weiss, and Joanna Bolme, the boy and girls who sort-of make up the tentatively-titled Quasi, are pretty much about to release their eighth album, American Gong, on Kill Rock Stars next week. And, as we previously reported, they’ve got a mess of US dates already in the works. Maybe. Reportedly. Most of the way.
But it turns out that Coomes and co. are only… half done touring this milquetoast thing around, as they’ve just announced a UK and European tour for May. The three-piece will perform their trademark brand of Pacific Northwestern accredited rock at the Pavement-curated ATP Festival, followed by a string of shows both on the mainland and in other UK locales, just in time for summer vacation! Are you semi-ready to get kinda-pumped?!
