Hercules and Love Affair announce their headlining North American fall tour in support of their smash self-titled album (out now on Mute/DFA). The band’s performances have garnered universal acclaim for their seamless blend of traditional and electronic instruments and their ability to transform venues and festivals into uninhibited dance parties . The North American tour includes dates with Mos Def (San Francisco), The B-52s and James Murphy (NYC).

The eight piece live band includes Andy manning keyboards, drum machines and providing backing vocals, a horn section, Kim Ann and Nomi on lead vocals, live drums, live bass and even more keyboards.

Both the album and lead single, “Blind”, debuted in the UK Top 40 and were ranked #1 and “Track of the Week” by the NME. The second single, “You Belong” was released on September 2 and features remixes by the UK’s Riton of the Gucci Sound System, Detroit techno originator and legend Kevin Saunderson of Inner City and legendary Chicago House producer Derrick Carter. The band’s debut show at Brooklyn’s Studio B and their recent NYC show at the Fillmore East received raves across the board and sold out quickly. The Fall tour presents a rare chance to see an exciting and innovative band that never sacrifices the fun.
