Riding on the sails of their ‘critically acclaimed’ debut album Humanimals, San Diego’s indie trio Grand Ole Party has announced a slew of concert dates with indie rockers Rogue Wave and punk old-timers New York Dolls (do they get MediCare?) for the month of April with a final show in San Francisco on May 3rd.
Question: Is this band really good enough to tour with the likes of Vampire Weekend, Rilo Kiley and Rogue Wave? (I don’t think so, but you be the judge.) Plus, the name; that’s the best they could come up with? GOP? Maybe they’ll get a spot at a McCain rally.
