Wolf Parade mini-tour in Canada

One of Montreal’s most plugged in indie bands only plays part-time. Wolf Parade, made up of Spencer Krug, Dan Boeckner, Arlen Thompson, Hadji Bakara and Dante DeCaro, is always dealing with scheduling conflicts. Three members are also part of other bands.

The group managed to find some time together and made good use of it. They organized a mini-tour to promote their new album, five concerts in eastern Canada. First on the agenda is Quebec on April 1, followed by Halifax (April 3), Fredericton (April 4), Kingston (April 6) and Toronto (April 7). There is no show scheduled in Montreal.

Formed in 2003, Wolf Parade’s guitarist Don Boeckner sings for the Handsome Furs with his wife, Alexei Perry, and for Atlas Strategic as well. Spencer Krug plays keyboards for Wolf Parade and is also a member of Sunset Rubdown. Wolf Parade nevertheless found the time to work on its third album. It should be released this spring, probably just before the tour begins.
