Last week, The Hard Quartet wrapped its inaugural trio of shows, playing their universally hailed debut album front-to-back in Los Angeles, New York, and London.
This spring, the band – Emmett Kelly, Stephen Malkmus, Matt Sweeney, and Jim White – will hit the road big-time, traveling to cities across the continental United States and Canada. They will be joined on the first portion of the tour by Chicago trio Sharp Pins and from Mesa onwards, Evischen. Tickets go on sale this Friday, November 1 at 10am local times. The band recently announced an Australian trip in January, including stops in Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, and more. Find a complete itinerary below.
