Let’s Wrestle bring fightin’ words, songs, and tour to US

By Nat Towsen on 03-01-2010

We Are Wolves (not to be confused with Le Loup, who are only one wolf) have announced an upcoming North American tour in support of their new, triangle-free LP, Invisible Violence (TMT Review). The album was digitally released February 2 via Dare to Care and didn’t see a physical release until February 23, which gave everyone a glorious window of time in which you could’ve illegally downloaded it and still convinced yourself that you’d pay for the vinyl. And speaking of digital/physical releases, maybe you should get off the internet. Go to a concert. Meet some people. You know?

What’s that? A concert sounds like a good place to rub up against (if not even speak to and mate with) people? Then you’re in luck! Joined on a few dates by Parlovr, Lesbians on Ecstacy, and Wolf Parade (who have to be, like, six thousand wolves), We Are Wolves are coming to a town (relatively) near you! Catch them before they fly out to Lyon (Lyon… lions… wolves… you get the idea).

Tyvek and Awesome Color are two of Michigan’s scummiest rock ‘n’ roll bands, so it makes sense that they would join up for a month-long tour. Together, they will hit Festival NRMAL, the Panache Showcase at SXSW, and a whole shitload of cities on the East Coast, Midwest, and the South. Check the dates and see if they’re hittin’ your town. And if they’re not? Well, why don’t you just end it now.
