Following the release of their critically acclaimed debut album 'Weathervanes' in August 2010 Freelance Whales are pleased to announce they'll be returning to Europe for a co-headline tour with 4AD recording artists Broken Records in early 2011 (full dates below).
Having formed in late 2008 in the Queens district of NYC, Freelance Whales burst into the public consciousness with some attention grabbing shows at the CMJ festival, an impressive stint at SXSW in March, and of course the release of their glowingly received debut album 'Weathervanes' and the accompanying singles 'Generator 1st Floor' and 'Hannah'.
Summer 2010 saw the band blow crowds away throughout the US, Europe with headline shows and key festival slots including the Reading & Leeds Festivals and a sold out headline tour in the UK.
These shows are not to be missed!
