Chairlift | 2009 U.S. Tour Dates :: w/ Austin date (Emo's)

The last time we caught Chairlift was a few months back during a short set at SXSW. This Saturday, the trio will set off on a tour that includes multiples stops in more than a few cities, Chicago especially (which they'll be playing 6 times). The band has an opening spot for TV on the Radio's Lollapalooza aftershow, and will also be joining Micachu & the Shapes, as well as Phoenix on the road for select dates.

They'll be stopping by here in Austin on July 11th at Emo's, where we'll finally get to catch a full set. Tickets are only $15, purchase them here. The rest of the tour dates are down below.

SXSW 2009 Recap : Chairlift at Under The Radar Party :: Flamingo Cantina


Chairlift was a band we've had on our radar for a little while now and we finally got to see their set last Friday at Flamingo Cantina. Although the venue isn't known for its sound (Caroline looked a little perturbed while setting up), that didn't scare off too many people, as it was pretty packed. We had a nice spot on the right front part of the stage and we shot a video of their first song they played, "Planet Health".

We're definitely very excited to see Chairlift at SXSW this year, you can check out those dates here.

Chairlift announce SXSW Dates



One of the acts we are excited to see at this years SXSW is Chairlift. I didn't run out and buy an iPod Nano when their track Bruises was featured as the song in that campaign but it was still nice to see them getting the "Apple" treatment. The band will be touring with everyone this year but most importantly (at least to us) is the announcement of SXSW showcases. You can check out a full list of tour dates at their official site and check out their recent Daytrotter session.
