They also added some small headlining shows, including one at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom the day before the MetLife shows begin (8/1). All dates here.
MR TWIN SISTER
Multiple announcements from Brooklyn smooth disco outfit Mr. Twin Sister today. They have a new single, “Echo Arms,” which is laid back and groovy with lush strings which you can listen to below. They’ve also just launched MTS RADIO, “the only 24/7 radio streaming platform curated and controlled by Mr Twin Sister” where you can “hear fresh daily mixes, unreleased MTS obscurities, classic MTS and MTS-approved albums, and more.” Currently the station is playing “Echo Arms” on a loop, but that’s just for the first day. They’ve also announced a fall tour that kicks off October 18 in Alston, MA and concludes with two nights at LA’s Zebulon on November 16 & 17. There’s a Brooklyn show, too, at Elsewhere Hall on October 25. All dates are listed here.
AT THE GATES / WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM
