(Big Hassle) The Sam Roberts Band have announced a North American headlining tour that kicks off on May 16th in Washington, DC. The 4-week tour comes in support of the band's new album Collider, out May 10th on Zoë/Rounder Records.
As a treat for fans, the band is now streaming first single "The Last Crusade" which features Califone percussionist Ben Massarella and Antibalas woodwind wizard Stuart Bogie.
"The Last Crusade," which begins as a simmering soul shuffle before gradually intensifying into a brass-blasted Afro-funk blowout, can be heard here
