We'll be heading out on our fifth California tour. Portland tour kickoff at Holocene Beat Off Beat Battle 8/5 where Blue Cranes samples will be used by contestants to make beats. Co-billing several shows and doing a basement recording session for a split 7" to be released this winter with Davis-based art-thrash group Elders. Playing at an organic goat farm in Southern Oregon, returning to many favorite venues, and having fun! Blue Cranes will be joined for tour by the wonderful Sam Howard on bass. Please tell your friends, and come join us.
