Megafaun news: RollingStone.com "Band To Watch" + Album; Tour

Megafaun

Megafaun - crowned last week as RollingStone.com's new "Band To Watch" - have confirmed North American and European headlining tour dates in support of their imminent self-titled album, out September 20, 2011 on Hometapes.

Iconoclast songwriter Doug Paisley will open most North American dates. See below for a full itinerary.

'Megafaun' is a watershed in the group's history, their most ambitious, eclectic album to date.

Recorded in Eau Claire, WI at April Base, the studio operated by their former bandmate Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, the album combines deeply rooted rock & roll with free jazz, Americana, electronic composition, musique concrete and more.

The trio - comprised of brothers Phillip and Bradley Cook and Joe Westerlund - promises a similarly boundary-busting live experience as well.
