Kings in downtown Raleigh is really digging booking bands for two-night stands right now. We told you a few weeks ago about Megafaun's two nights there on January 21 and 22 and American Aquarium will follow with shows on January 28 and 29.

Now former North Carolina band Future Islands who now call Baltimore home, will play two nights at Kings on March 3 and 4. Ed Schrader’s Music Beat will open both shows and tickets will be $10 in advance via etix. They should be on sale soon.

Future Islands' latest album In Evening Air landed at number fifteen on our 2010 readers' poll best albums list. Download the song "Walking Through That Door" from the album below.
