Parquet Courts Drop New Single & Announce U.S. Tour

Approaching the release of new studio record 'Wide Awake!' and Shaky Knees Festival appearances, Brooklyn origin indie rockers presented fresh single 'Mardi Gras Beads' and mapped out their 2018 U.S. and European tours through the fall.

Parquet Courts, the band comprised of A. Savage and Austin Brown on vocals/guitars, Sean Yeaton on bass guitar, and Max Savage on drums, will be releasing their seventh full-length album, Wide Awake!, worldwide via Rough Trade on May 18.

'Mardi Gras Beads' is the first taste Parquet Courts fans are getting for the forthcoming LP. Just a few days ago, the band presented this song with an eye-catching video captured in New Orleans and directed by Brother Willis. Watch it below.

With an aim to support new music pieces NYC post-punks will tour the central and southwestern U.S. before heading to Europe for a series of theater and festival shows in July. The tour begins on May 23 in Boston, MA at Royale venue, and it will see the crew hit everywhere before they reach their final tour destination, San Jose, CA at The Ritz venue on September 28. Other stops on the run will include Portland, Detroit, Minneapolis, St Louis, Asheville, Richmond, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and more.

Moreover, alt-rock band and their Rough Trade-playmates Goat Girl will support band in selected dates. Full tour information and ticket purchase links can be found below.
