Fang Island Add Tour Dates With Matt & Kim, Stone Temple Pilots

Fresh off of touring with indie-rock legends The Flaming Lips in July, Fang Island again hits the road this week supporting the reunited Stone Temple Pilots. The Brooklyn based high-fiving guitar-anthem optimists will then embark on their first headlining tour of the UK and Europe in September, starting in Dublin at the Electric Picnic. Then, after quick stops to play the Pygmalian Music Festival and Midpoint Music Festival back in the American heartland, Fang Island tour into October with daredevil dancepunk duo Matt & Kim.

Pitchfork recently premiered the quintet's latest video, "Careful Crossers" which was shot in Los Angeles in the storied Glassroom at Sargent House. This marks the band's third video to debut via the popular site which previously featured the quirky videos for "Daisy" and "Life Coach."

Fang Island's self-titled debut album hit shelves on February 23rd via Sargent House amid a wealth of praise from press, with many writers declaring it one of the Best of 2010, just two months into the new year. A digital EP featuring the popular album track "Daisy" backed with Chris Keating of Yeasayer's remix of "Absolute Place" off their "Sky Gardens" EP preceded the full length in January.
