Night Beds and Nightlands announce tours (dates & videos)

Nightlands at Knitting Factory in February (more by Jono Bernstein)
Nightlands

Speaking of similar/confusing band names, two that have been getting me this year are Night Beds and Nightlands. Both are vaguely in the folk spectrum and had releases that came out two weeks apart in the first quarter of 2013. Plus, Night Beds’ album, Country Sleep, came out on Dead Oceans and Nightlands’ album, Oak Island, came out on affiliated label Secretly Canadian.

To keep this confusion up, both artists have announced spring/early summer tours this week. Night Beds’ tour kicks off in Tennessee in May and ends in NYC on June 30 at Glasslands. Tickets For that show go on sale Friday (4/12) at 10 AM.

Nightlands’ tour is much shorter, and it begins with a NYC show on May 29 at Mercury Lounge. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (4/12) at noon.

All dates for both tours are listed, along with Nightlands’ new video for “Born to Love” and a live Night Beds video, below…
