Hard to think of many bands who have had as good of a 2011 as Smith Westerns. Their second full-length album, Dye It Blonde, was released to critical acclaim and the band hit up nearly every major music festival, along with tours with Yuck and Yeasayer. Now, expect to see them featured prominently as year-end lists begin to surface.
But, the support of Dye It Blonde has to end sometimes and the band has announced their final tourdates before they begin work on LP3. Below are the dates, which feature support from Porcelain Raft and Bleached (whom we just talked to).
