Kurt Vile to tour w/Thurston Moore in July, perform w/Pissed Jeans and Meg Baird at the Church on June 12

Announced earlier this afternoon at Matador Records’ Matablog:

In what’s likely to be one of the hotter tickets of Summer 2011, Thurston Moore and Kurt Vile & The Violators are hooking up for 7 North American dates this July in support of both of their most recent album, the former’s upcoming ‘Demolished Thoughts’, and Vile’s wildly acclaimed ‘Smoke Ring For My Halo’.  Additional dates for both — sadly, only playing in tandem from July 18 to the 30th — are listed below.
