Blitzen Trapper Tour the West Coast!

July 7th, 2005

Holy crap, it’s true! Our dearest Trappers, they of the freaky pop genius and catchy-wierd brilliance, are about to set off on their first ever tour of the Left Coast. This is exciting. Following a packed CD release show, growing local buzzzzzz, and the first trickling of some much-deserved love from the national press (hello, Pitchfork!), the B-Trap will be heading out on tour on July 9th, heading up to Seattle for an in-studio performance at the amazing KEXP, and methodically hitting up every town from there to San Diego. As I mentioned before, this is the first time the Trapper have ever toured outside if their Portland home, which means for many of you it’s also your first opportunity to finally catch them live. Believe me, they do not disappoint. Bring yr boots and yr dog-chain, cuz the Trapper’s comin’ down. Yee-freeking-haw!
