The Virgins book run with The Black Kids
New Wave revivalists The Virgins will support their recent full-length debut with a run of fall dates supporting indie rockers The Black Kids .
The New Yorkers--who experienced a surge in popularity recently when the CW Network show "Gossip Girl" featured five of the band's songs in one episode--will kick off the outing Sept. 19 in Jacksonville, FL. Following a run up the Atlantic coast, the tour concludes in mid-October with a run of California dates. Details are below.
The band worked with the production team of Sam Hollander and Dave Katz (S*A*M and Sluggo) on its self-titled debut album, which features several songs that previously appeared on the group's "The Virgins '07" EP.
The lead single, "Private Affair," can be heard streaming at The Virgins' website, along with two other songs from the debut, which hit stores in June.
The Virgins formed in 2006 after frontman Donald Cumming and guitarist Wade Oates met at a Ryan McGinley photoshoot. The pair joined with bassist Nick Zarin-Ackerman and drummer Erik Ratensperger and began playing downtown NYC parties before signing an Atlantic Records contract.
