The alt-feel-good Pepper and ska band Less Than Jake has joined forces for a national co-headline tour this year.

The 30+ shows launched earlier this January in Dallas, and will make their way to Minneapolis’ historic First Avenue venue next Monday.

Pepper’s groove machine Yesod Williams exclaims, “Less Than Jake is the gasoline to our burning blaze of fun!!! We are so filled with gratitude to be attacking the U.S. with some of the best humans to ever grace the bunks of a tour bus!!!” Less than Jake’s drummer Vinnie Fiorello adds, “Touring with Pepper means only one thing, having a great time. Guaranteed. Both bands bring a summertime energy that will help get through the winter.”
