We have previously reported about the formation of indie-rock-veteran collaboration Divine Fits, which consists of members of Spoon, New Bomb Turks, and Wolf Parade, as well as the group’s debut single and album. Now, we’re thrilled to tell you that the group has booked three unique debut performances, which will take place in the members’ respective hometowns: that’s Austin, Montreal, and Columbus, in that order. Some tickets will be given away to the shows; read on for further details.
Aug 1 Austin, TX Beerland
Aug 3 Montreal, QC Il Motore
Aug 6 Columbus, OH Ace of Cups
In a post on the band’s website, Spoon frontman Britt Daniel mused, “Is it weird to be in a band where you’ve made a record but you’ve never played in front of an audience?” We don’t have the answer, but we’re glad that the question won’t be lingering for long. In a press release from the band’s label, a giveaway of special tickets was announced and the following details were provided:
Special golden tickets will be inserted into ten random copies of the “My Love Is Real” single available at select indie retailers in each of these three markets, including Waterloo and End of an Ear in Austin, Used Kids and Magnolia Thunderpussy in Columbus, and participating stores in Montreal which are still TBD. Each golden ticket will admit the winner and a guest to the Divine Fits show in the respective city.
