One eskimO - US Tour Dates Announced

Last year, two things happened in simultaneous splendor. First, there was the emergence of One eskimO on my radar, making me fall in love with a number while their debut album caught fire in my heart and amongst many a fellow blogger.

Two days ago, I made a quick note that London four-piece would be embarking on a tour of the US. Not surprisingly, I deemed these talented gents worthy of a full-on beast attack.

British innovators, One eskimO are taking their compelling blend of modern pop and acoustic folk to the United States, kicking off a two-month tour with several shows in New York.  The band will also play several dates with Gomez on this tour which culminates with a performance at Coachella.  One eskimO’s one-of-a-kind sound is matched only by their creativity, as they pioneered a “visual album” with “The Adventures of One eskimO,” a ten-part short-form animated series. You can watch, and listen to, the gorgeousness that is Kandi, here.

After a fantastic tour with Tori Amos last year, the band kicks off their adventures with 2 shows in New York.

Feb 4 -- City Winery -- New York City

Feb 5 -- Bearsville Theatre -- Woodstock

Feb 8 -- The Living Room -- New York City

Feb 13 -- Fifth Third Bank Stage (The Atrium at Compuware Corporation) -- Detroit, Michigan

Mar 4 -- Vic Theatre w/Gomez -- Chicago, Illinois

Mar 5 -- Majestic Theatre -- Madison, Wisconsin

Mar 6 -- Fine Line Music Cafe w/ Gomez -- Minneapolis, Minnesota

Mar 8 -- Ogden Theatre w/ Gomez -- Denver, Colorado

Mar 9 -- Belly Up Tavern w/ Gomez -- Aspen, Colorado
