Family Announce Tour Dates with Beak, Order of the Owl and More
Haven’t heard much from Brooklyn crunch specialists Family since their 2012 release, Portrait (discussed here), but they’ve obviously spent the two years since it came out making good friends. From Moon Tooth and Weedeater to Lunglust, The Cloth, Beak, Hosoi Bros., Laser Flames on the Great Big News, Order of the Owl and Horseskull, their upcoming tour is rife with badass accompaniment. They’ll alternate between sharing the road time with Order of the Owl and Beak, and that’s already some pretty nifty shakes, but this is one of those lists of tour dates where you go back and check out the acts listed as being played with in each town, since it’s obvious some effort was put into curating each of these bills. Very cool stuff.
The tour starts Nov. 5 out on Long Island and takes off from there around the East Coast and Midwest, with the routing as such:

This band deserves to take shit every day for stealing the name of the legendary British band Family. Inexcusable in this day and age.
