Scottish band The View are still around, touring North America (dates)

The View

Scottish band The View caused a bit of a stir in 2007 with their single “Wasted Little DJs” and for being somewhat enfant terribles (they were all in high school at the time). Since then, they’ve released four albums, including last year’s Cheeky for a Reason and you can stream a few tracks from that below.

All four of their albums were Top 20 hits in the UK, but America hasn’t paid much attention (or maybe it’s the other way around). That hasn’t detered them adn the band will be going on a fairly extensive North American tour which includes two shows in NYC: April 6 at Knitting Factory and April 7 at Bowery Ballroom. Tickets to both Knit and Bowery go on sale Friday (2/1) at noon, with an AmEx presale happening for the Bowery show today (1/31) at noon.

All tour dates are listed below.
