The Beets tour the US to the sound of a million Nicktoons references

Hold on to your hats, because we’re going into some real Choose Your Own Adventure stuff for this one. If you were a child during the 1990s, proceed to the next paragraph. If you were an adult during the 1990s (or, god forbid, a child during the 2000s), please proceed to this story’s third paragraph. Also, enter the dragon’s cave.

To you children of the 1990s: New York garage-rock outfit The Beets are on tour! Yeah, The Beets! Let’s all chuckle lightly as we are filled with nostalgia from recalling Nickelodeon’s Doug. Yes, those were good times indeed, my friends. But let us not wish for their return, for that shall never happen.

To those over/under the 18-30 demographic: New York garage-rock outfit The Beets are on tour. The Jackson Heights-based band are known for their intense work ethic, their new album Stay Home out now through Captured Tracks, and the fact that they are named after an unappealing vegetable. Now get out of here, you’ve got a job/middle school to attend.
