Animals as Leaders to Commemorate Tenth Anniversary by Touring with The Contortionist

Why, it seems like just yesterday that Vince was telling me about this hip young band called Animals as Leaders. Here we are, a decade later, and yeah, they’ve gone through some line-up changes since then, but on the whole, they’re still fire. That’s something to celebrate.

And celebrate the band shall! They’ve announced a headline trek of North America in commemoration of their tenth anniversary. The tour will kick off in May, with support coming from the equally-impressive The Contortionist. Shit, that’d be a good show even if it wasn’t such a special occasion.
