Did you know that Grizzly Bear are extremely popular? It’s true. Last year, the Brooklyn group released Veckatimest (TMT Review), which sold a whole ton of copies, ended up on about every major publication’s year-end list, and gave thousands of college freshmen new ringtones in the form of “Two Weeks.” Basically, Grizzly Bear are all sorts of popular now. So, what do you do when you’re all sorts of popular? If you’re smart, you go on tour and enjoy that string of almost-certainly sold-out shows. If you’re really smart, you add some US dates to that tour. Grizzly Bear are really smart.
