With their critically-acclaimed debut Belly in hand, Washington, D.C.’s experimental hip-hop unit Food for Animals will head out on the road for a month-long tour. The group will be accompanied by San Francisco upstart Mi Ami. And yeah, I know I tend to cut on indie-rock bands here, but if their “tropical/punk” MySpace tracks are any indication, Mi Ami is pretty decent. Other opening acts, mostly of the experimental rock persuasion, will pop up at various shows.
Food for Animals will only cover East Coast and Southern cities on this run, so West Coasters will have to wait to see them in the flesh. Check if your city is on the itinerary below.
