TRAA…(ipickmynose)
Canadian trio and recent Saddle Creek signees The Rural Alberta Advantage have paid frequent visits to NYC since playing their first US show at Pianos in January. That first trip included a second show at Union Hall, then they returned in April and again at the end of May.
The group heads out on a summer North American tour on June 20th. That trip keeps them on the road pretty consistently through August (including multiple appearances at Calgary’s Sled Island Fest) (each show is at a different venue). So far, the band’s only NYC date is a free show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on Tuesday, August 4th. They’re currently the only band announced on that date, but MHOW reports that more bands will be added to the show’s lineup.
All those gigs are in support of TRAA’s debut, Hometowns, which came out as a self-released disc in 2008 and will get a Saddle Creek release on July 7th. Pre-orders come with an immediate download code.
