In September, Merge Records announced that they had signed female supergroup Wild Flag, featuring members Carrie Brownstein, Mary Timony, Rebecca Cole and Janet Weiss whose combined past band memberships include Helium, The Minders, Croissant Cocktail, Feeble Knees, Quasi, Dogz, Sleater-Kinney, @@@, Asia, The Consortium and Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks.

The band plans to release their debut album via Merge in 2011, but the band have been road testing material first. Until now, all dates were on the west coast, but the band will head east in March leading up to South By Southwest.

The new dates will bring the band to Local 506 in Chapel Hill on Friday, March 11. Tickets will be $10 and an opener(s) has yet to be announced.

Once the band has played their first shows, which start on November 10 in Olympia, WA, we'll add some video(s) to the post so you can get a taste of the band's sound. Stay tuned on Twitter or Facebook for updates.
