We all know The Fresh & Onlys are catchy, mostly-upbeat garage pop, and we unanimously agreed that last year’s Play It Strange was pretty great. These are the reasons for which you should prepare yourself, now, for the excitement about to brim over as you read: The Fresh & Onlys are going on tour this spring.
There, I said it! These guys are packing up and leaving San Francisco in March, with an inaugural date at Austin’s SXSW. And — get ready for this — they’re doing it to promote a mysterious new EP from Sacred Bones. There’s no information to be found anywhere about the EP, but maybe you can ask Tim Cohen in person when March and April come. Assuming there are no more major ice storms, political upheaval, natural disasters, or celebrity deaths, does spring get any better?
