In what could only be described by east coast residents as a giant slap in the face, local favorites Big Ups and LVL UP have announced they’re going to tour the other coast together this fall. As a sigh of “awwww man” washed over the Atlantic shoreline, Pacific dwellers reveled in anticipation of the October “UP” brothers tour. LVL UP will be touring in support of their forthcoming album, Hoodwink’d, due out September 23 on their own Double Double Whammy. Big Ups debut LP Eighteen Hours of Static has been out since January, but this will be the band’s first trek to the west coast.
LVL UP will be touring across the country with Mitski before meeting up with Big Ups in Seattle. You can stream LVL UP’s newest single, “Ski Vacation”, below, and read on for a full list of LVL UP tour dates.
