Best Coast and Wavves to go on joint 2011 North American tour

Best Coast and Wavves have announced details of an upcoming joint 2011 tour of North America.

The 26-date jaunt will begin in San Diego, California on January 21.

"We're both in summery California bands and I think by doing the tour in winter, we're bringing summer to places where it's fucking freezing," Best Coast's singer Bethany Cosentino told Spin.com. "We've been talking about what we want the vibe to be, we want it to be a beach-themed sort of thing, but we're still brainstorming."

As previously reported, Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino and Wavves frontman Nathan Williams have released a joint Christmas song called 'Got Something For You'.
