The indie rock from Sweden just keeps coming. Shout Out Louds are starting their North American tour today and playing Bowery on Thursday and Music Hall on Friday. Shout Out Louds are hitching up with lots of folks on this tour and especially in New York, let me explain.

TankFarm Future Sounds — dudes who make month compilations of industry buzz bands — are presenting the tour and going out on the road with the band. Also, did you know that the bass player Ted directed the video for "Young Folks?" The bands are pals and Bjorn is DJing the after party at Union Pool for the Music Hall show. (Click the flyer for more details). And Team Product Shop will be DJing between sets at Music Hall and a few people from After the Jump will be DJing between sets at Bowery. The whole thing will be one big party.

Bowery is sold out, but if you want a pair of tickets (and a shirt!) to the Music Hall of Williamsburg show email productshopnyc (at) gmail (dot) com with your name SHOUT OUT LOUDS CONTEST in the subject line. Also enter the contest if you would like a copy of the latest TankFarm Future Sounds compilation because we have a few of those to give away too. We will pick random winners on Thursday.

UPDATE: We just got word that there is also an after party at Lolita after the Bowery show. Riot City DJs will be spinning and there will be an open vodka bar for an hour. (Click the flyer for more details).
