Broken Bells (Dangermouse/James Mercer) going on tour for the first time ever

Super-duo Broken Bells (made up of Brian “Dangermouse” Burton and The Shins’ James Mercer) released their self-titled, debut-album last week. The new album, Broken Bells, has already shot to the number-one spot on iTunes and the number-seven spot on Billboard, so the guys decided that they would head out on their first-ever North American tour starting May 18, with support by The Morning Benders.

The band has played a number of stand-alone gigs already in Los Angeles, New York, and most recently at SXSW, and if past ticket sales are any indication, then the newly-announced, 15-date tour should shape up to be a pretty hip event! If you need a more “expert”opinion on why you should go, then listen to US Weekly, who described the show as like “being at a cozy, intimate underground basement party somewhere in Northern California with the best art rock band on the coast providing the soundtrack.”
