Finally coming to the US of A...

I, as well as many, discovered this band via their appearance in last year's Heineken commercial, so I bought the album (had to pay an extra $20 to ship from Australia).  Love their retro 60's soul/girl group sound, previously mined by the likes of Amy Winehouse, Sharon Jones, Adele, etc., but with a healthy dollop of camp.  Now they are finally coming to the States, so heads up NYC (Mercury Lounge on March 26th) and Beantown (TT the Bears Place on March 27th).

Having only played in N.Y.C. and L.A. before, this will be our first time going to most of the cities listed below and we can’t wait to play all over your fine country! Beginning with a string of performances at this year’s SXSW festival and followed by a cross-country tour kicking off in Dallas, TX at the House of Blues on March 18th.  Additional dates include March 22nd at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta; March 26th at the ­ Mercury Lounge in New York; March 30th at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago and April 9th at The Troubadour in Los Angeles.
