Slyly waiting under the radar since a big break-out SXSW The Strange Boys launched a huge tour over the weekend. Their debut record The Strange Boys and Girls Club (In The Red) has received accolades in all the right places from Pitchfork to Rolling Stone. The record manages to channel older southern blues and country through the filter of modern, garage rock and classic In The Red-style guitar noise yielding one of the finer debut albums of the year. The Strange Boys are playing three New York shows, including a highly anticipated Todd P BBQ party at Fort Tilden Beach in Queens. For the less motivated city folk (cough, us) they are also playing the Cake Shop. See after the jump for a video and full tour dates.
