Moon King were in NYC over the weekend as part of their tour with Doldrums (they were also 3/4ths of the latter’s backing band). I caught their show Friday (4/17) at Mercury Lounge where frontman Daniel Woodhead was a nonstop ball of energy and he and Maddy Wilde’s harmonies sounded great. (if you haven’t checked out their new shoegazy/krauty new album, you should.) After their tour with Doldrums, Moon King will head out to open for Brooklyn’s Mr Twin Sister on a July tour that wraps up in NYC at Bowery Ballroom on 7/24. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (4/24) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (4/22) at noon.

To give you a taste of what Mr Twin Sister are like live you can stream a recording of their November 22, 2014 show at Shea Stadium, below. All dates for both bands are listed below.
