The heavily bearded Texan rockers Midlake are kicking off their latest tour any minute now. Seriously, if you live in Arizona and you catch this article as soon as it goes live, there’ll be plenty of time to cancel all your plans and make it to the show tonight at Plush in Tucson. The rest of you don’t have to jump off the couch just yet, but Midlake will surely be in your area at some point. The almost four-month-long tour is set to cover most of the US, and the band will get a bit of northern exposure from a couple of Canadian dates.
The tour follows the release of their latest album on Bella Union, The Courage of Others (TMT Review), which our own Jason P. Woodbury declared “the first great record of 2010.” With such a ringing TMT endorsement, you’d better double-check the dates below.
