It’s no secret that I, like Daytrotter, have fallen under the spell of These United States. Their past two albums were fantastic, the third sounds like it’s shaping up nicely and their live shows are always fulfilling. And since they haven’t been touring for a few weeks now (hey, they had to take a break to record their third album), it’s about time they got back on the road. Here are their dates…including a few in Lexington and one at the You Ain’t No Picasso co-sponsored SXSW Hot Freaks! event. See you guys there!
