THE SHINS are hitting the road with 764 Hero for all of March!
Take a look at the tour dates at
http://www.artisdead.net/theshins/dates.html There is a new 7"

single from their upcoming album on Sub Pop/Omnibus) could
possibly be one of the most beautiful songs ever. Look for the LP
version of their album on Omnibus in May (CD on Sub Pop)!
