Indie folk band Vetiver are hitting the road with excellent California band Dawes this fall which will be a great tour. Unfortunately, Dawes won't be stopping in the Triangle, but Vetiver will be working on their night off and will be stopping here.
Vetiver will play Local 506 in Chapel Hill on Monday, Nov. 1. Tickets will be $10 in advance via etix. An opening act(s) has not been announced yet. Twelve Thousand Armies will open the show.
Vetiver's latest release is More of This digital EP / 12" vinyl, released by Sub Pop in December. Check out photos from Vetiver's last stop in the Triangle with The Clientele in February here and you'll find Vetiver's current tour schedule below.
Last year when The Clientele played the XX Merge festival at the Cat's Cradle, frontman Alasdair MacLean said that the label's anniversary events were the only time the get to play to a packed Cradle crowd. Well, Wednesday night's show pulled a nice crowd for the double bill featuring the U.K. band and Vetiver.
Vetiver started the night off with an hour long set of jammy folk rock and blues laced tunes. At times the songs were a little too drawn out, but the band certainly has their own little niche. The groove of the song "Another Reason To Go" from their latest album Tight Knit was especially nice.
UK band The Clientele, the only British band to perform at XX Merge, will return to the Triangle in 2010 in support of their latest album Bonfires On the Heath. The dates for the tour are just starting to make their way into the world, but we know it will include a show at the Cat's Cradle on Wednesday, February 24. Vetiver will open the show and tickets go on sale Friday, December 18 for $13 via etix.com.
Check out the dates I've pieced together so far below which will be updated as new dates are uncovered. Check out the full tour schedule below. Also download "I Wonder Who We Are" from Bonfires On the Heath below.
