Cream Calendar Darls in Charge: Those Darlins Release, or "Drop," Tour Dates
Posted by D Patrick Rodgers on Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 4:28 PM
Question: Do Those Darlins ever rest? Answer: Apparently not. They've just released new tour dates for the coming months, and yet again, they'll be bringing their Nashville-y Nashvilleness to eager listeners all over this great land of ours. A handful of their shows are with Avett Brothers, Magic Kids, Glossary, and The Features and The Dexateens, respectively.
In related Darlins news, the ladies will allegedly be releasing a self-titled full-length on July 7. No sneak peeks on that stuff yet, but you can go ahead and listen to "Wild One" from the Wild One EP below, lest you forget the savory deep-fried flavor that is the Darlins' vivacious brand of country punk.
See the the "Whole Damn Thing" of tour dates after the jump. Might as well jump!

What has happened to the Horoscopes that you guys used to have?? The horoscopes were deep and psychological and many times, right on!!
Are they gone forever? If so, it's a shame!
I always looked forward to reading my deep,thought provoking horoscope every week. I know many people who feel the same as I do about this. Hope to see them again,soon!

The more stuff you have in a paper, the more space you need.
The more space you need for a paper, the more it costs to make.
The economy took a big dump on all of us.
The end.
I'm happy for the Darlins. It seems like their deal is taking off, and that's pretty awesome.
Jesus, I would really like to know how the hell groups like this get deals. I'm not saying they are bad, but they sound so safe and non-challenging, that they could do jingles for kid's cartoons. Is this really what the people want? If so, I guess I practiced, performed, and studied music WAY TOO MUCH!
Highly complex music can be awesome. But putting on a show and making simpler music interesting takes just as much work. And it's not just because they're pretty. Maybe they don't use a ton of chords in a song, but their parts, especially the harmonies, have to be spot on to not sound like ass.
I can't wait til the new stuff comes out, what I've heard live has a LOT more rock and roll to it. They've really grabbed onto this thing and made it their own, in my humble opinion.
do you honestly think the Darlins didn't/don't practice, perform, or study music? not that it would matter much, business savvy will get you farther than musical chops - but it's not as if they're untalented or uncreative, nor are all "studied" and "practiced" musicians under some geas to only produce theoretically complex wankery.
linwood, are you the rainbow in the backround of that picture? looks like you layin down country beats back their. beautiful!
goose is smart. i say so. he knows what all the chord names are. like supertonic. up up and away. flying the dorian way.
ps i would trade news of the weird for free will astrology, but im trying to be as mystical as possible: for all intents and purposes.
hate to blow her cover but Kelly Darlin can probably out shred yngwie malmsteen in all modes: Ionian, Dorian, Locrian, Mixolydian, Phrygian, Lydian, Aeolian and Nickelodean.
that really makes me "scratch my head"
ah...Linwood. You're cool as hell. people are quick to judge what they don't understand.
These guys, having played on the same bill/roomed with/played as part of the Darlins, definitely know the score. Like all the best bands, they use their chops for the right things. They know it's about how much the crowd is dancing and getting off, not whether Kelley hits that di-mented 13th in her Nickelodean mode right.
Also, Lin, I was wondering why I kept seeing you in gold stretch pants every time sun went through my prism. Was starting to freak me out, thanks for clearing that up, dude.
