Damon and Naomi are hitting the road in support of their latest self-released album, "The Earth is Blue".

It's been awhile since Damon and Naomi released a record, so here is the quick history lesson: Once upon a time there was this highly influential band called Galaxie 500. This band broke up, and in the aftermath Luna and Damon and Naomi were born.

This tour is going to be extra-special because Kurihara from Japanese psych band Ghost will be playing with them. The dates:
