Desaparecidos Announce East Coast Tour Dates!

“A decade-old protest band has once again found a moment to match their music.” – New York Times Magazine

“The (new) songs…demonstrate that the band hasn’t gone soft with age with a sound that’s just as powerful and poignant as ever…” - KEXP

“…the band did not let down for the entire set. Newer tracks such as “MariKKKopa” fit right in and left everyone excited for what might come next.” – Death and Taxes Magazine

Desaparecidos, the Nebraska-based 5-piece fronted by Conor Oberst, released two new tracks this summer, “MariKKKopa” and “Backsell”, their first new material in ten years. Following a successful run of shows on the West Coast, Desaparecidos are happy to announce their first East Coast tour since 2003, beginning February 15th at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, and wrapping up on February 26th at Webster Hall in New York.
Desaparecidos return as the original line up of Conor Oberst (vocals, guitar) Landon Hedges (bass guitar, vocals), Matt Baum (drums), Denver Dalley (guitar) and Ian McElroy (keyboards). The band formed in 2001, released one album (2002's critically lauded Read Music/Speak Spanish), and ceased playing together shortly thereafter.
Desaparecidos’ debut album Read Music/Speak Spanish - released in 2002 - was universally lauded by critics and saw the band tapped for tours with the likes of Jimmy Eat World and The Promise Ring. Entertainment Weekly called it "the sort of howlingly tuneful Midwestern punk that disappeared with Hüsker Dü<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%BCsker_D%C3%BC>." More political than Oberst’s earlier releases as Bright Eyes, Read Music/Speak Spanish turned sharp focus on capitalism, economic injustice and suburban sprawl.
WATCH: Desaparecidos perform “MariKKKopa” at The Troubadour in Los Angeles and NBC’s Last Call With Carson Daly was there to capture it: http://www.nbc.com/last-call-with-carson-daly/video/desaparecidos-marikkkopa/1424409/
