What It Is: As Tall As Lions

Posted: June 10th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: indie rock | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

As Tall as Lions is touring this summer. To give you an idea of what they do, here are a bunch of words used by the Alternative Press and Stereogum (but not all at the same time): “dreamy,” “ambient,” “swirly.”

For some reason that sounds like coffee to me, but their new album “You Can’t Take It With You” is supposed to be Doves-ish, so that should be good. Then I went and watched a bunch of emo-ish videos by them and realized singer-songwriters are hot when they’re singing about being unable to  get over girls.

Show dates:

June 30 - New York, NY @ The Bowery Ballroom

August 6 - Chicago, IL @ The Bottom Lounge *

August 30 - Los Angeles, CA @ El Rey Theatre *

August 31 - Los Angeles, CA @ El Rey Theatre *

* with Dredg & RX Bandits
