Austra Announce Summer Tour Dates


Untitled

Canadian electronic-classical outfit Austra returns to North America, bringing their pulsating, synth-driven beats to audiences once again this summer.  Vocalist and composer Katie Stelmanis will be joined on the road by her incredibly talented crew of musicians, including drummer Maya Postepski, bassist Dorian Wolf, keyboardist Ryan Wonsiak, and the beguiling vocalist twins, Sari and Romy Lightman. 

Austra's 2011 critically acclaimed album Feel It Break made many year-end lists in its year of release, notably the Toronto Star and New York Magazine both gave it the number one position, calling the album "an outright stunner" full of "shuddery force" respectively. 

Austra tour dates:
Thu. Aug. 9:  Pioneer Park – Salt Lake City, UT w/ Passion Pit
Fri. Sept. 14:  Neumo's – Seattle, WA
Sat. Sept. 15:  El Rey Theater – Los Angeles, CA
Sun. Sept. 16:  The Independent – San Francisco, CA
Wed. Sept. 19:  Music Hall of Williamsburg – Brooklyn, NY
