The criminally underrated So Cow will be launching their third North American tour this saturday at Crown Liquors in Chicago, featuring plenty of guests along the way. Originally the solo project of Irishman Brian Kelly, So Cow has since expanded into a three piece noise-pop band. What’s the occasion for the tour you ask? Well So Cow have a new album out on Tic Tac Totally that deserves your attention entitled Meaningless Friendly. Where their Self-Titled album felt more like a collection of singles, Meaningless Friendly plays more like an album should, combining a singular sound and idea, the result being a completely fun and relaxing pop album. Run down the full list of gigs below; I would personally recommend their live show as I saw So Cow earlier this year in Minneapolis and had a great time.
