This weekend is Halloween, don’cha know, but Car Seat Headrest is taking the masquerade party deep into next year. Will Toledo and his merry band of indie pranksters have today unveiled the Car Sea Headrest Masquerade Tour, kicking off March 16 in St. Paul and wrapping in Vancouver on May 20. They’re bringing Bartees Strange and Floral Tattoo along for the ride, and the Boston date with the former lands March 26 at The House of Blues. Aces.
“You are formally invited to a venue near you to partake in The Car Seat Headrest Masquerade Tour for a night of music, dancing, and identity loss,” the band declares. “We are deeply excited to crawl out of our pit and onto the spot lit stage once more. For a few hours on a spring night, you too can slip out of your mind and into the ever-changing shared world of the theater. We ask that you wear a mask (you know which kind) and invite you to accouter yourself in whatever further costumery you please. Proof of COVID-19 vaccine or a negative test will be required. At some venues only proof of vaccine will be accepted — check your local venue to receive details.”
Car Seat Headrest is taking some sweet merch out on the road with them, too, as they’ll be slinging a limited-edition tour-only CD, titled The MADLO EPs, compiling recent digital-only releases, MADLO: Influences and MADLO: Remixes. Influences features four covers that helped shape 2020’s Making A Door Less Open (David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Kate Bush, and The Who), and Remixes boasts five re-works from Superorganism, Scuba, yeule, Dntel, and 1 Trait Danger.
Cool stuff. All the dates are below; get ticket info here.
