Good news for any fans of The Shins out there: Your favorite indie band (and mine) will be touring around the world in the next couple of months. The Shins will be playing the majority of their concerts around the United States, though they will also be performing in the UK, Germany, Ireland, Holland, France and Belgium, so there’s a good chance there will be one near you. See their official site for the full list of tour dates.

If I may make a small confession, I have never been to an indie live concert before, so I’m going to try to make an effort to see The Shins playing live. Hope to see you there!
