“Once Omaha’s singing-songwriting enfant terrible, the gracefully matured folk-rocker Conor still indulges bizarre verbosity...and his most vitriolic politicizing in this post-hardcore rock troupe.” – New York Times

“Two hours after Desaparecidos finished up their Saturday night gig at the 9:30 Club, my ears aren’t exactly ringing or throbbing. It’s more like there are these two columns of air sitting on both sides of my head, compressing my skull and allowing only a select group of vibrations to get picked up by my insides and recognized as sound. I am exhausted, and maybe a tad dizzy, but I feel wonderful.” – Brightest Young Things

“As they left the stage, amps still burning away and humming with feedback, we couldn’t help but see a bit of Joe Strummer in Oberst, and though Desaparecidos have not (yet) revitalized the youth on the scale that Strummer and the Clash once did, we’d like to think that this new era of the band might grow to do something similarly spectacular.” – Consequence of Sound

After a successful jaunt around the East Coast this past fall that ended in a blow-out New York City 10-year reunion show, Desaparecidos, the Nebraska-based 5-piece fronted by Conor Oberst, return for more. Their coast-to-coast tour will kick off August 28th in Minneapolis and will be making several stops including St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, Austin, New Orleans and Los Angeles.

Conor  Oberst will be making solo stops prior to the tour in Vegas and multiple cities in California with The Felice Brothers– dates below.

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.  They returned in 2012 and have self-released two 7-inch double A sided singles via their website.

WATCH: Desaparecidos perform recent single “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/
