Indie folk-rockers Deer Tick will take to the road for a mix of headlining and support dates this spring as they continue to support last year's "Born on Flag Day."
The Rhode Island-based group, which is led by singer/songwriter John McCauley, kicks off the road trip March 5 in Los Angeles with an appearance as part of the LA County Natural History Museum's "First Friday" series of live performances and lectures. The band's first traditional show of the season follows March 13 in Cincinnati, OH, with additional dates following leading up to the group's April 18 appearance at Indio, CA's Coachella festival.
Deer Tick goes into support mode starting March 25 in San Francisco, interspersing headlining gigs into the remaining schedule as the band tags along on Dr. Dog's spring trek. The two outfits will wrap up the jaunt May 15 in New York City. Details are at right.
On the road, Deer Tick--which also includes Andrew Tobiassen (lead guitarist), Christopher Dale Ryan (bassist) and Dennis Ryan (drummer)--are supporting the outfit's latest album, "Born on Flag Day," which surfaced last June.
The album follows 2007's "War Elephant," which was originally released on tiny independent label Feow! Records, and re-released by slightly larger indie imprint Partisan in 2008.
The group started out as a McCauley solo project, with the singer performing solo and selling homemade CD-R copies of his songs at live gigs.
