The Duo Announces Fall Tour 2005

Whooooa nelly, the Benevento/Russo Duo‘s gearing up for a whirlwind Fall Tour…as someone who has seen four shows already in 2005, this makes me seriously excited for the autumnal equinox:

We will be hitting the road once again, towards the end of the month, launching our second assault on the country in support of Best Reason to Buy the Sun, but this time we will be bringing some friends.

Drums & Tuba will be joining us on the first leg of the tour and indie-dance phenoms, Something for Rockets, will be on the road with us for the second leg of the tour. We are still working out details for Leg 3, but we do know that we will be visiting the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states on our way back home to rest up for a big 2006.
