The Shins have announced that they will be celebrating their classic debut album, "Oh, Inverted World", with the launch of a special 21st Birthday Tour this summer.
They will be performing the record in its entirety on the trek, along with fan favorites and deep cuts. The tour will feature support from Portland sister trio Joseph.
"Everything was so tongue-in-cheek in the indie world of the '90s," Mercer says today. "I remember feeling a longing for some sort of romance in music again, something earnest, like a real attempt at some emotional language."
The tour is set to kick off on July 12th in San Francisco, CA at The Warfield and will be wrapping up on September 6th in Portland, OR at the Pioneer Courthouse Square. See the dates below:
