GARBAGE
Garbage celebrated the 20th anniversary of Version 2.0 on tour in the fall, and they’re heading out again this spring for some more headlining dates. They’ll hit Atlanta, Denver, Los Angeles, and a few more cities on their May trek, then head overseas for more dates in June. See all of Garbage’s upcoming dates here.
DEER TICK
Deer Tick’s upcoming tour for new album Mayonnaise already included two NYC shows (Rough Trade and Music Hall of Williamsburg) both of which sold out, and now they’ve added a third: Music Hall of Williamsburg on May 3. Updated dates are here.

In addition to having recently started a podcast with Aimee Mann, Ted Leo has a few tour dates coming up, including three solo shows in Florida this week (one as part of the Changeville Festival), and two Canadian dates with the Pharmacists. He’ll also be singing lead for a Dexy’s Midnight Runners tribute titled Too-Rye-Ay, happening at Brooklyn’s The Bell House on St. Patrick’s Day. Dexy’s debut album, Here Come the Young Soul Rebels, is definite influence on Ted so let’s hope we get “Geno” and some others off that record in addition to “Come on Eileen.” The big band they’ve assembled also includes The Dambuilders’ Dave Derby and more. Head here for all dates.
