Fanfarlo is heading back to the States, and the group just couldn’t wait to bring their catchy indie pop to Los Angeles. That’s the only reason I can come up with why they’d be kicking off their North American headline dates at El Rey February 20th—Booking agent? What booking agent—and playing a special in-store set at Amoeba Records February 18th. Sure, they’re stopping by NYC for an appearance on the David Letterman Show Monday night before making it over to the West Coast, but I still like to think they’re as excited to see us as we are to see them. Too bad LA local Robert Francis isn’t joining the tour until after SXSW. Check out the dates below, and if you aren’t yet familiar with the group, allow our interview with frontman Simon Balthazar to enlighten you.
