Great shows in the dead of Tucson's dreadful summer heat are about the most welcome thing I can think of for those long, sweaty days. And some Canadian folks who've shown some love to Tucson in the past are headed this way.
The New Pornographers, with a fresh new album, will play the Rialto Theatre on July 21, with The Dodos and Imaad Wasif.
So, check out the first single, then join me in pre-ordering Together, and then join me at the show (spiritually, of course, if you're at some other show on what is a lengthy tour):
