Band not from australia come to america

Confusingly, The Wombats are not from Australia, nor New Zealand, they're from Liverpool, England (We know, next we're gonna be all like: "I'm From Barcelona are Swedish?" etc etc) and they write cool little guitar pop songs... kind of like everybody from Liverpool. And nobody from Australia. And everyone has heard them, which would make this post almost as redundant as that one with Robyn dressed as a bee... if they weren't TOURING THE USA IN AUGUST! HUZZAH.

Why not cold check it:

August 6: Los Angeles, CA at the Roxy
August 7: Los Angeles, CA at Cinespace
August 8: Los Angeles, CA at Spaceland
August 9: San Francisco, CA at Popscene
August 11: Toronto, ON at Mod Club
August 13: Boston, MA at Great Scott
August 15 - New York, NY at Annex [Oh, can't wait for that one--Sarcasm Ed.]

To tide you little punters over, here's our favorite Wombats video, for "It Backfired At The Disco":



Is that a sweatband in your spandex or are you just happy to see us?
