Thurston Moore / Kurt Vile Summer Tour Dates

Thurston Moore, the veritable punk rock icon is touring with the up-and-coming new guy on the block Kurt Vile. They'll play seven shows together in-between their own individual tours, and it's a Matador Records thing as they're both on the label. The Thurston Moore tour dates are in support of latest effort, the Beck-produced album Benediction.

Old school meets the new school, and the crowd is bound to be popping with people of all age groups. Fun for ages 3 - 103! And you get to see crusty aging punk parents with their kids, gauranteed good times.
