Okay, people, listen up and listen good! I’m only going to say this ONCE:

 No, I do NOT know what Sunset Rubdown is doing this summer.
 No, I do NOT know what Frog Eyes have planned for the coming months.
 No, I do NOT have any information about Swan Lake’s latest whatever-the-fuck
 No, I do NOT have any clue what Fifths of Seven are up to.

And No, Of Montreal’s not even from there...

So don’t ask. Now, I don’t want to hear more questions. Everybody GOT IT?

Good. With that out of the way, I can tell you that everyone’s third or fourth favorite Canadian band Wolf Parade will be hitting the road this summer for the first time in a Montreal minute to play a healthy string (or a "parade," as a lesser journalist might quip) of shows across the U.S. and Canada!

The sudden flurry of wolf activity is definitely not because Spencer Krug is bored (a masochist, maybe, but not bored). Nope, the boys will actually be hitting the trail in support of their newest full-length effort, At Mount Zoomer — their first, if you’ll recall, since 2005’s buzzed-about Apologies to Queen Mary — which drops June 17 via Sub Pop.

Will the band’s sophomore effort live up to the acclaim of their debut? Will the three-year wait between records hurt their gig turnouts?? Will Spencer Krug found another animal band???

Hey, I thought I said no more questions!
