Want to see someone pretend they are starring in an iPod commercial in a live setting?* C'mon, you know you do…it's on your list of things to do before Halloween rolls around and you have to pull out the snow boots and ugly sweaters, right? Well, that's a distinct possibility now that Brooklyn's Chairlift have announced a spate of tour dates for August-October.
Starting off at All Points West on August first, Chairlift will hit the road for the last few summer festivals and an evening with TV on the Radio. Then, they'll be spending the next two months in vans and hotel rooms playing first with Michachu and The Shapes, and later jumping on the tail end of Phoenix's American stand before heading across the pond with the French rockers.
*Ground Control cannot guarantee anyone will do the iPod dance. But we can pretty much guarantee at least one hipster will do it "ironically."
