They’ve done a fair bit, The Soft Pack. In their short existence thus far, they have conquered CMJ, ignited bidding frenzies, seen their EP’s sell out in the blink of an eye, supported the cream of the musical crop (Bloc Party, Breeders, so on and so forth!) and even done a radio session for 6 Music’s legendary Marc Riley Show (link included below). Now there’s only one other thing left for a white hot, rapidly ascendant young band to do – head back out to the UK for a headline spring tour.
Currently causing jaws to be scraped off floors and lines to snake for miles outside packed venues on their string of sold-out debut shows, the Los Angeles- via- San Diego quartet will be heading back to enthral UK audiences once more in May, following their stint supporting that big, shiny, slim-hipped pop colossus that is Franz Ferdinand in March. And, if you’re in the US, there’s even more fun to be had, as the band make the sacred pilgrimage to the Mecca of all that is good and holy in new music that is SXSW in Austin, Texas next month. After all, too much of The Soft Pack can never be a bad thing.
