Fleet Foxes announce their first live show in 5 years
The last time Fleet Foxes performed live, Tea Party patriots were bravely protesting the existential threat of Obama’s first term, Arsenio Hall was on his way toward winning the fifth season of NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice, and nobody knew what the hell a “Gangnam Style” was. The world has shifted somewhat since the Helplessness Blues Tour stage was dissembled for the final time on January 20, 2012—not for the better. some would say. Others would agree. However, perhaps as a harbinger of positive things to come, the Seattle indie folk band will soon play its first show in a half-decade.
