Best Coast announces new album & tour, coming to Carrboro

California indie duo Best Coast have come a long way since playing a packed Tir Na Nog during the first Hopscotch Music Festival in 2010. They released an acclaimed debut album, made national television appearances and even had a music video directed by Drew Barrymore. Now, they're looking to keep that momentum going with their highly anticipated sophomore album The Only Place, due out on May 15.

The band will hit the road immediately following the release and will make their way to the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro on Friday, July 13. Those Darlins will open. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 9 via Etix for $17.

Check out a video of the band playing the last track from the new album, "Up All Night," at a recent show in Australia below.
