Handsome Furs, Housse De Racket, And Spector Announce Winter Dates

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.

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. The twelve additional stops kick off tonight in Rome and take the Montreal duo through Portugal, Russia, and a few Eastern European countries straight out of the Cold War before coming 'round stateside and hitting up the West Coast.

London retro-rockers Spector have been having a whirlwind go of it recently: from appearing on Later with Jools Holland to having a song featured on Eastenders (a TV "programme" Brits really "fancy," as we understand it), these blokes have come a long way from the snooker club in which we first caught them. Still on the up-and-up, these Don Draper derivatives have announced their first headlining UK tour in February of next year. The gigs will only act as an appetizer, however, for the 3-pound-lobster of a main course, which will be their UK/European dates opening for acclaimed ginger wailer Florence Welch and her Machine.
