Akron/Family are gearing up for a North American tour that features a handful of summer festivals plus headlining club and theater dates. Just back from Japan Akron/Family will be joined by Wooden Wand for an east coast run and in September by very special guests Jeffery Lewis & The Junkyard and Slaraffenland.
Simultaneously, Akron/Family’s US label, Dead Oceans, will be releasing a series of Akron/Family 7"s. Side A will feature a track off their newest, most dynamic offering, Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free, and the flip-side will boast an exclusive, 7"-only track. These releases can be purchased at the band’s shows first before they will be made available to traditional retail outlets.
