Broken Bells, that new band fronted by James Mercer of The Shins and Danger Mouse of everything cool released in new music over the past few years, just announced their first tour following up their highly successful introduction down at SXSW this year. I really only caught this video from Spinner but it was enough for me. I immediately went out and got their eponymous release and it’s been on steady rotation ever since. I’d highly recommend it.
Watch this video which features the first track from the album, and read on for the dates.
