It seemed like it was just yesterday (it was actually February) that The Soft Pack, those San Diego bred surf punks, released their debut, self-titled full length. Now, a little more than half a year later, the band are on the verge of another headlining tour, where this time they’ll split the bill with none other than Kurt Vile. Oh, where has the time gone?
The band kick things of on September 4th at the FYF Fest. From there, it’s a couple dates in the Big Apple before heading west (including a show in Arizona; booyah!) Afterward, The Soft Pack spend a lengthy trip in Texas (including a gig at Austin City Limits) before wrapping up with shows in Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, Seattle, and Vancouver and concluding with a hometown finale on November 13th. And if sharing headlining duties with Mr. Vile weren’t proof enough they’ve arrived, check out their latest video for “More Or Less” below, directed by Frances Ford Coppola’s granddaughter, Gia Coppola. How’s that for making connections?
