Upcoming Shows

What shows are we most excited about in 2012? Here’s a rundown on the biggest shows happening now.

Christopher Owens

Owens shocked the music world when he announced he was stepping away from the illustrious Girls, after a promising start that included multiple drops including two full-length albums and critically-acclaimed EP. Owens, as expected, finally marked his return with a run of solo shows that should offer a good idea of what life beyond Girls entails.

12-08 Paris, France – Gaite Lyrique
12-10 London, UK – St Giles Church

Wild Nothing

Leader Jack Tatum fleshed out the live sound for the band in recent years after starting things up as a solo venture. That time to mature has allowed the band to release one of the better albums of the year with Nocturne, naturally following up with a long run of shows with early select dates featuring the added bonus of The Walkmen.

Japandroids
