Canadian band Doldrums (lead by Airick Woodhead) should not to be confused with American 90s band Doldrums or the Ariel Pink album. They are on tour in support of their latest The Air Conditioned Nightmare; available now on Sub Pop. The weird album title was taken by Henry Miller's 1945 collection of essays, after his return to the US after ten years as an expatriate.
Toronto duo Moon King will be opening the show, they are on tour of their debut album Secret Life (which came out two weeks ago). We've been talking about Moon King for a while now, including their recent tour with Alvvays.
Also on the bill is local electronic duo Tender Meat.
Doldrums/Moon King Tour dates:
05/02/15 San Francisco, CA Rickshaw Stop
05/04/15 Seattle, WA Sunset Tavern
05/05/15 Portland, OR Holocene

Speaking of 'moon', local duo Moon and Pollution (singer Molly Dean and producer Graham O'Brien) will be opening up for New York's Mas Ysa (aka Thomas Arsenault) and headliner Young Fathers from Scotland.
