Japanese techno-punk outfit Melt-Banana will be going on two North American 
headlining tours. To coincide with this two tours, Melt-Banana will release Return of 13 Hedgehogs, a collection of non-album singles.They'
ve taken a map of North America and cut it in half diagonally right;
the band will first tour the bottom right half in May to mid-June, and
will come back in July (and a few dates in August) for the top left
half. In
addition to these headlining shows, Melt-Banana are also scheduled to
perform at two festivals. The first is the Maryland Deathfest in May. In
July, the band will appear at the Eaux Claires Music & Arts Festival curated by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and the National's Aaron Dessner. Melt-Banana'
s first show on the first tour will be in Phoenix with Lightning Bolt.
For most dates of the second tour, the band will be joined by Torche.
I'm hoping you'll consider advancing their show with a feature, advance
blurb or album review. Let me know if you need the music.
