The Charlatans announce North American tour (2015)

To round off a fantastic year, The Charlatans have announced a North American tour this fall.  The band released their twelfth studio album, Modern Nature, in January to stunning reviews, some citing it as their best ever. Modern Nature was produced by The Charlatans and Jim Spencer and mixed by Craig Silvey (Arcade Fire, Portishead). The album features a cacophony of contributors from their three temporary drummers – Pete Salisbury of The Verve, Stephen Morris of New Order and Gabriel Gurnsey of DFA’s avant-disco group Factory Floor, to Kate Bush’s backing singers Melanie Marshall and Sandra Marvin, strings by Sean O’ Hagan and brass courtesy of Dexys’ Big Jim Paterson.
The tour kicks off at Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin on November 7 and wraps up in Mexico City at the Corona Capital City Festival on November 22. Portland’s Eyelids will be supporting The Charlatans on the U.S. tour dates. The band features former and current members of Decemberists, Guided By Voices and Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks.
