Australia to get face rocked off by Les Savy Fav, Hold Steady

French Kiss Records are temporarily deporting three of the United States' best bands — Les Savy Fav, the Hold Steady and Thunderbirds Are Now! — to Australia this upcoming February and March for a brief tour Down Under. These will be Les Savy Fav's first scheduled performances since their set at Intonation Music Fest this past July; both THS and TAN! also played that fest, but have stayed active since then, touring incessantly with the likes of everyone from Constantines to Minus The Bear. This is the first time all three bands have toured together, however — and if I may editorialize for a second, here's to hoping this pairing carries over to the States.
