Following their sold-out mercury lounge show in June, Violens adds more summer tour dates (see below) with indie rock faves Grizzly Bear, and 2008 break out band MGMT. Following the release of singer/producer Jorge Elbrecht‘s remix of their single “Time to Pretend”, MGMT asked Violens to join them on dates between a busy schedule of summer festivals. The band will then join Grizzly Bear as sole support on their shows between dates with Radiohead.
Until you can catch the guys live, check out their new video for “Trance-Like Turn” and download the mp3!
