Rubik Announce US Tour

05/11/2010
. Rubik are returning to the US in June for a full tour in support of their second album and US debut � Dada Bandits.

Released Stateside this past fall on Fullsteam/Paper Tiger AV, the album was met with critical praise and found the Finnish collective doing a handful of US dates including a show at CMJ Music Marathon in NYC as well as session for KEXP.
