Des Ark hits the road with Tim Barry and Appleseed Cast

Photo © Marc Krause After taking a few months to regroup after the release of, and tour(s) around their last full length, Des Arkare back at it again.  The band will be headed out on the road, first with Avail's Tim Barry, followed by a jaunt with The Appleseed Cast throughout much of the midwest.  This kicks off what promises to be a busy year for the band as they get ready to record a follow up to Don't Rock The Boat, Sink The Fucker. In the meantime, you can check out stripped down sessions with Aimée Argote on WXDU.  Volume 1and Volume 2 have just been released on Bandcamp and Lovitt will be reissuing WXDU Vol. 3 featuring Johnny Ward of Pygmy Lush in the coming weeks. Tour dates below. Get pumped. "Anyone expecting agitprop mallpunk or ironic cowpunk covers may be surprised by the shimmery pop sound of (Des Ark), which creates a dynamic, often dense sound out of a minimum of instruments." - Pitchfork Jul 18, 2013 Washington , DC DC9 w/Tim Barry Jul 19, 2013 Philly, PA Johnny Brendas w/Tim Barry Jul 20, 2013 Brooklyn, NY Knitting Factory w/Tim Barry Jul 21, 2013 Boston, MA Middle East w/Tim Barry Jul 23, 2013 Montreal, Canada QUAI DES BRUMMES w/Tim Barry Jul 24, 2013 Toronto, Canada Hard Luck Bar w/Tim Barry Jul 25, 2013 London, Canada Call The Office w/Tim Barry Jul 26, 2013 Detroit, MI Magic Stick w/Tim Barry Jul 27, 2013 Pittsburgh, PA 31st Street Pub w/Tim Barry Aug 08, 2013 Chicago, IL Fireside Bowl w/THE APPLESEED CAST Aug 09, 2013 Chicago, IL Fireside Bowl w/THE APPLESEED CAST Aug 10, 2013 Minneapolis, MN Triple Rock Social Club w/THE APPLESEED CAST Aug 11, 2013 Madison, WI The Frequency w/THE APPLESEED CAST Aug 12, 2013 St Louis, MO Off Broadway w/THE APPLESEED CAST Aug 13, 2013 Louisville, KY Zanzabar w/THE APPLESEED CAST Aug 14, 2013 Lexington, KY Cosmic Charlies w/THE APPLESEED CAST Aug 15, 2013 Grand Rapids, MI Pyramid Scheme w/THE APPLESEED CAST Aug 16, 2013 DeKalb, IL House Café w/THE APPLESEED CAST Aug 17, 2013 Cleveland, OH Cleveland Public Theater w/TBA (Part of Festival) Aug 19, 2013 Bloomington, IL The Castle Theatre w/THE APPLESEED CAST
