If that headline doesn’t tell you everything you need to know, try this on for size: Fleet Foxes, one of my favorite new bands from 2008, will be sharing the First Avenue Mainroom stage with Dungen come Sunday, August 9. Dungen is a Swedish psychedelic rock group whose music I’ve been loving since I first heard it three years ago. I caught their show at the 400 Bar on Election Night, and I fully expect the combination of them and the much more mellow Fleet Foxes to be nothing short of an experience. I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up, but I can’t help be excited; in fact, I’m going to order my tickets right now. Oh, and Pitchfork has a small write-up on the tour.
