This past week has been one filled with firsts for Better Oblivion Community Center, the new band from Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers. The super duo released excellent self-titled debut album and performed on both Colbert and CBS This Morning. Today, BOCC are back with two more career milestones: their first-ever tour and first official music video.
BOCC are scheduled to tour the US and Europe this spring. Launching March 8th, the trek will see the folk rockers hit American cities like Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Brooklyn, Boston, and Atlanta before heading off across the pond. In Europe, they’re set to perform in places such as Stockholm, Berlin, Amsterdam, and London. While Oberst and Bridgers have hit the road together in the past, this marks their first trip under the BOCC name.
The group has also shared a music video for lead single, “Dylan Thomas”, directed by Michelle Zauner of Japenese Breakfast. An intriguing clip, it follows BOCC as they hang out with a strange cult that’s really into virtual reality experiments and… bingo.
Check out the video below, followed by their full tour itinerary.
