THE FASHION TO TOUR US WITH ALKALINE TRIO
The band's Self-titled album was released yesterday!
Denmark's hottest export since LEGO, the highly critically acclaimed The Fashion are set to do their first North American tour when they open up for Alkaline Trio starting June 13 in Tulsa, OK.
The band has been building a steady critical buzz of late with Rolling Stone's David Fricke raving,
"There's something hoppin' in the state of Denmark; the high velocity and New Wave-guitar sunshine of this Copenhagen band." The band warrants comparisons to dance/new wave bands like the Rapture, LCD Soundsystem and even a little Beastie Boys, and are praised in the current issue of Rolling Stone in its "Smoking Section."
The leaders of an underground music scene in Svendborg, Denmark, The Fashion are fronted by lead singer Jakob Printlau who is a top notch visual artist and directs the band's video and designs albums and merchandise. Their video for "Solo Impala (Take The Money and Run) debuted on MTVu this winter and made its US film premiere at SXSW. The band also took the stage at SXSW at the Fader party and wowed a packed house with their highly danceable post punk new wave.
