October is the month of war. It must be, for Halloween falls at its end, bringing a dramatic climax to the previous four weeks’ turmoil. This is a month in which you can declare war on your neighbor, set their lawn on fire, throw a knife at their garage, and they’ll never know it was you, because they’ll think some skeleton did it. As such, it’s the ideal time for L.A. outfit Warpaint to tour, as their name suggests not only paint used for war, but also the individual concepts of war and paint. The two ingredients of Halloween! These October dates are in addition to previously announced dates in the less war-torn months of August and September.
Earlier this year, Warpaint put out their self-titled sophomore album on Rough Trade. Not to editorialize, but the decision to release the record in January may have been a huge mistake. January is a peace lover’s month.
