Portland, Oregon collective Blitzen Trapper have announced the release of a new EP as well as a rather giant tour of America and Europe.

In its ongoing hunt for the ever-elusive reindeer that shares the band's name, Blitzen Trapper have announced an extensive tour that takes the band from the West Coast down through the Southwestern U.S. There's one stop in Canada at Vancouver's Richards on Richards, which is strange because one nary scopes a reindeer south of the 49th parallel. Stranger things have happened, though. Then, it's ...
I’m still waking up this morning and reeling in post-concert-coital bliss after last night’s Fleet Foxes and Blitzen Trapper show at the Fillmore.

Blitzen Trapper is [...] Related posts:Blitzen Trapper - Wild Mountain Nation Review Blitzen Trapper ca...

MADRID - The unrest that has gripped Greece is spilling over into the rest of Europe, raising concerns the clashes could be a trigger for opponents of globalization, disaffected youth, and others outraged by the continent's economic turmoil and soaring unemployment. Protesters in Spain, Denmark, and Italy smashed shop windows, pelted police with bottles, and attacked banks this week, while in...
