The Pains of Being Pure at Heart announce new tour dates

Being the blog-buzz band of the year, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are by now familiar to all. (If not, they're the unholy love child of My Bloody Valentine, Jesus Mary Chain and the some idea of what the '80s were from 30 years down the road). The group has announced a slew of late summer/fall shows. Check them out below and after the break (where you're also find a PoBPaH vid, delightful).
