Having completed its latest album S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT (we’re not sure what that means), Akron/Family is ready to bring it to you live. The “AKAK Dreamtime 2011” crew (don’t even ask) will be hitting the road February 17th, about a week after S/T II‘s February 8th release.
The two-month North American outing will begin in Brooklyn and feature support from Brooklyn’s Delicate Steve. Akron/Family and Delicate Steve will hit Boston, Montreal, and Toronto before a visit to the Midwest to close out February. Three Ohio dates follow, with the tour heading back east and stopping at Philadelphia’s The Blockley and NYC’s Bowery Ballroom. After a break, the tour resumes on the West Coast heading into April. Akron/Family will gig in most of the major spots, including Vancouver, Denver, Salt Lake City, Dallas, and Los Angeles. The trip wraps up on April 9th in Oakland.
