The Wave Pictures released a new album called Beer in the Breakers in May via Moshi Moshi and are currently playing European shows in support of the album.

While they’re here, they’ll play Mercury Lounge on August 17 and The Rock Shop in Brooklyn on August 25. Tickets for the Mercury show go on sale Friday (7/1) at noon. Rock Shop tickets are on sale now. If they have other dates scheduled in between those, we don’t know about them yet.
