Idle editorial policy perhaps, but we tend not to list US dates. Perhaps just suckered in by the idea of The Animated Adventures of Abe Vigoda after seeing the the poster for Diplo's upcoming Mad Decent (MORE) tour, seems like fair game to break from tradition for this one awesome stateside jaunt.
So, who's that up there in animated form joining the Philly baile funk darling and LA's finest tropical punks (with their recent Skeletons (review) as ammunition)? Former drone-pop DiScoverites Telepathe and humble London glitch-merchant Boy 8-Bit.
Those dates?
