Everyone knows that the holiday season is the most impossibly shit-tastic time to travel, but that's not stopping these Noisey bands from hitting the road this winter. May your flights be toddler-free and your tour vans be heated. Godspeed.Husband/wife Canadian indie pop outfit Handsome Furs have added more dates to their current international tour in support of their latest electrifying LP, Sound Kapital.

Still on the up-and-up, these Don Draper derivatives have announced their first headlining UK tour in February of next year.
