German darkwave icons Pink Turns Blue plot first-ever North American tour

pink-turns-blue

German post-punks Pink Turns Blue originally existed from 1985 to 1994, making darkwave rock that traveled a similar moody path as The Chameleons, The Cure and Clan of Xymox. You can listen to their 1987 debut, If Two Worlds Kiss, below. Mic Jogwer and Ruebi Walter reformed Pink Turns Blue in 2003 and have been going ever since, with their most recent LP being 2016’s The AERDT – Untold Stories, which finds them still in fine, driving form. You can stream that below as well.

Pink Turns Blue will be on the road in 2019, including what is reportedly their first-ever North American tour. That won’t be till the fall with dates currently beginning in Chicago on September 12, and including shows in Los Angeles, San Diego, Oakland, Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, Tampa, Baltimore, Philly, NYC, Montreal, and more. The NYC show happens at Brooklyn Bazaar on October 5 with Pawns (tickets).

All tour dates are listed below.
