Watch Out America, July Talk is Coming Your Way
On March 3, Toronto’s July Talk finally released its Self-Titled debut in the US through Island Records. Now, 
the band – fresh off a JUNO Award win for Alternative Album of the Year – will return to the states for a number dates this spring and summer.
The 18-show tour will begin in Denver, Colorado on May 28 and close out on June 24 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. You can view the entire list of shows below.
“I’m so thankful that we’ve been given the opportunity to explore something,” said July Talk vocalist/guitarist Peter Dreimanis in a 2014 interview with Riffyou.com. “When you’re a doctor, there are certain preconceptions about what you’re going to do on a day-to-day basis. Walking into a rock n’ roll show, if I’m a guy wearing a guitar and Leah is a woman and we’re standing on the stage, there are preconceived notions about what that night’s going to be. What’s important to us is that we really try hard and push each other to fuck with that. And, maybe say, ‘what if we don’tdo what is expected of us?’
He continued: “For example, if a beach ball comes on stage, what if I rip it in half and wear it like a coat? What if Leah decides that she wants to get covered in fake blood? What if we cut each other and start bleeding over each other? With these ideas, we’re just at the tip of the iceberg. We’re really interested in pushing each others boundaries, and we want to take people out of their comfort zones. There’s a vulnerability and honesty to [our performances] and we want to push that as far as we can.”
