The Blind Shake Announce Fall US Tour in Support of New Album "Seriousness" Out Now on Learning Curve Records



“Minneapolis trio The Blind Shake, comes at it with the militaristic precision of a hardcore band, dispensing with the solos and boozy hollering, and attacking with concise, laser-point body blows” - The A.V. Club/The Onion

On the heels of their critically acclaimed new album "Seriousness" out now on Learning Curve Records, as well as their collaborative LP with Michael Yonkers titled "Period," Minneapolis-based thundering rock trio The Blind Shake have announced a full US tour dates taking place this Fall and taking the band along the East Coast and throughout the Southeast and Midwest, as well as a trip into Canada for the upcoming Halifax Pop Explosion in October.

The Blind Shake are a detuned, garage-stomp, punk trio from Minneapolis, MN. Two brothers, Mike and Jim Blaha, front the band and play baritone and regular guitar respectively, while longtime chum Dave Roper plays drums.

Known for ferocious live shows and collaborations with psychedelic noise legend Michael Yonkers, The Blind Shake have toured North American basements and bars for several years and have released six albums as well as a handful of singles.
