Warpaint return to Austin with Akron/Family 2/24

We saw Warpaint at Emo's last month and have been obsessed with their music ever since. That night I bought the E.P on iTunes after purchasing it on vinyl at the show. The band is ridiculously good and we honestly didn't expect to see them back till SXSW. So you can imagine our excitement when we saw the band would be back in February at The Parish in support of Akron/Family. Here are the tour dates, plus our video of the ladies performing "Stars" at Emo's.
