You might best remember Nada Surf for becoming popular in the 90s for their
tune “Popular,” but since that song they’ve released album after album of well-crafted and witty material (I’m quite partial to “Blankest Year” and often have used it as my personal anthem.)
The band is taking a break from writing their own tunes and have prepared a covers album, If I Had a Hi-Fi. Covers include Kate Bush, Depeche Mode and the Go-Betweens.
To support the release of the covers album, the band is kicking off a headlining tour with a three night stay in New York on March 25. Each night they’ll perform one of their albums in its entirety. On the 25th they’ll play Let Go, the 26th will be the The Weight Is a Gift and the 27th will be Lucky. Each night will also include songs from the covers album, fan favorites and other b-sides.
If I Had a Hi-Fi will be available on the band’s tour before it hits stores.
Tickets for the tour are available here.
