Blitzen Trapper and Dawes schedule co-headlining tour; get a free sampler EP

Blitzen Trapper’s new album, American Goldwing, is do on September 13th and to support it they are touring with Los Angeles’ Dawes in a co-headlining effort that will see them travelling from the Bay Area in California to Boston and New York and then back again. It seems like they are playing everywhere, you know, except Los Angeles. I will pretend I am not offended. (note: the press release says more tourdates will be announced, so, there is still hope.)

In celebration of this affair, the bands are giving away a six-song sampler cd, containing three songs from each band. “Howl” from Blitzen Trapper is a personal favorite. Listen to the sampler below and download it in exchange for an email address. Dates are below all of that.
