Last week, indie rock faves Blondshell announded their sophomore album If You Asked For A Picture, and released a revved-up new single called “T&A.” Today, the band announced their world tour in support of the record, beginning in May with a San Diego date and continuing through North America throughout June before festival dates in July and a European run in September. Blondshell headlines Union Transfer on Friday, June 21st with support from Daffo.
In announcing the new Blondshell album last week, frontperson Sabrina Teitelbaum reflected on the wildfires that have torn through her hometown of Los Angeles. “The city I’ve lived in for ten years is burning and the scale of the loss is incomprehensible,” she writes. “In a way it feels dumb to talk about music, but I also think the whole point of art is for it to exist in the context of pain as a small emotional respite…even if just for one moment.” Teitelbaum shared links to ways to support the Los Angeles community in general, including Mutual Aid LA, an LA Fire Department Fundraiser, and Canine Rescue Club, a dog fostering organization.
In addition to “T&A,” Blondshell’s recent single “What’s Fair” will also be on the new record. If You Asked For A Picture is out May 2nd on Partisan Records, and can be pre-ordered here. Tickets for Blondshell’s Union Transfer concert on June 21st go on sale on Friday, January 17th at 10 a.m., details and more information can be found here.
