The War on Drugs Open for Destroyer at FUC April 4

The War on Drugs will be making a hometown stop tonight at the First Unitarian Church. They’ll be opening for Dan Bejar’s much-buzzed-about Destroyer. He’ll be performing with a full band. This evening’s show is part of their month-long U.S./Canadian tour. I hope to hear some new songs from The War on Drugs’ upcoming full length that the band completed about a week before their current tour started. But I certainly don’t mind hearing the oldies but goodies that I know and love. (Below is one of them, “Arms Like Boulders”, from The War on Drugs’ sold out release party for Future Weather at Kung Fu Necktie in December.) This should be a fine show, but don’t count on being able to get tickets at the door. According to a tweet by R5 yesterday, there are only about 50 tickets left. You’ve been warned.
