Either Art Brut really only likes a select few U.S. cities, or these tongue-in-cheek rockers aren’t fans of road trips – though the latter idea seems to be canceled out by the proceeding European tour. Whatever the case may be, when the English based outfit stops by America later this year in support of its forthcoming album, Art Brut vs. Satan (May 12th via Downtown Records), Art Brut will be playing six, count ’em six cities, over the course of 17 dates. In other words, three residences in the cities of New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, along with one-offs in Philadelphia, Seattle, and San Francisco.
Hey, at least you know have a pretty darn good excuse to visit your favorite metropolitan area. Tickets are currently available via Ticketmaster.com.
