The dates kick off with a sold-out hometown show at New York City�s Bowery Ballroom this Friday, December 12th. From there, the band will head west for a series of December shows.
The itinerary resumes at Philadelphia�s Johnny Brenda�s on January 21st, with dates then continuing through a Valentine�s Day extravaganza at Brooklyn�s Music Hall of Williamsburg on February 14th. On March 6th, The Virgins will hit Miami to join a stellar line-up � including Atlantic�s own Death Cab for Cutie � at the annual Langerado Music Festival in Bicentennial Park.
Produced by S*A*M* and Sluggo, The Virgins� self-titled debut has proven one of the most acclaimed albums of 2008. The band�s next single, �One Week Of Danger,� is already receiving high praise from NME, which claims the song is �a primal pulse of snotty �My Sharona� guitars, impeccably arch vocals, deliciously silly woo-hoos and enough kool-aid coursing through the veins to kill a horse.� In addition, The Guardian enthusiastically describes their sound as �grubby New York indie with some of that city�s disco gloss, like a giant love-in between CBGBs and Studio 54.�
