They're playing Pitchfork ATP also

I like what I've heard.

finally!

Howlin Rain rule

however, they're not a sideline anymore: as Comets On Fire are on hiatus, this is Ethan Miller's main band now

also, John Moloney from Sunburned Hand Of The Man is no longer playing drums with them (though Sunburned did open for Howlin Rain at the Scala last November)

aplogies for being a pedant

but you've confused the band name and album title in the last sentence - Howlin Rain will be touring with Black Mountain (as opposed to 'Magnificent Fiend', which is the name of the record)

not sure there's an apostrophe, either:

tidy

fingers crossed the UK release follows soon after

and John Moloney is still in Sunburned Hand Of The Man (he's just not playing drums with Howlin Rain anymore- didn't express myself very well before!)
