Jens Lekman Announces Summer Tour

Since the beginning of this year, Jen Lekman has not been able to stand still, touring such exotic locales as New Zealand, Australia and Japan as well as a small European tour. And now Jens plans to embark on a "short and luxurious" U.S. tour accompanied by a six-piece all girl band complete with horn section. Jens will reportedly be playing a lot of new material he's been working on for his early 2007 release on Secretly Canadian, that he promises will defintiely be a pop record. If you're in the Philadelphia area on July 20th you better make it out because for one night only my pal Herbie's band Brrr will be opening for Jens(!) and it will be a night to remember.
