Royksopp announce new tour dates
Royksopp announced new North American tour dates Thursday.
The Norwegian duo will tour in March to just four American cities, but luckily, it includes Washington D.C. They will perform at the 9:30 club.
Torbjorn Brundtland and Svein Berge are probably best known for "What else is there?" the 2005 existential electronic-pop tune that featured The Knife's Karin Dreijer.
It'd be easy to think they would be sedate on tour, but Marc Hogan over at Pitchfork had this to say about its live album, "Royksopp's Night Out:" their "live set is much better and more raucuous than hunching next to the speakers at yer local Crate & Barrel."
Tickets are now on sale.
Full dates after the jump:
Royksopp tour dates:
18/3/11: The Guvernment Toronto, Canada
19/311: Club Soda Montreal, Canada
21/3/11: Webster Hall New York NY
23/3/11: 930 Club Washington, DC
24/3/1: Masquerade (Heaven Stage) Atlanta G
25/3/11: Ultra Music Festival Miami, FL
Tickets, at $25, are on sale here.
