MGMT announces small list of U.S. Tour dates

MGMT, arguably one of the bigger “indie” bands out there, can probably sell a lot of tickets to a lot of places throughout the country. So when I see this list, I can only assume that there is going to be a second announcement that includes twice as many dates and some shows ON THE EAST COAST. Because I just can’t imagine that MGMT would play 16 shows and say “Well, that’s it boys!” So congrats to all you southern/midwest/west coast folks. For everybody else in the country, I’m sure we’ll get our MGMT shows soon enough.

UPDATE: Nope. The band is completely snubbing the east coast on this tour in favor of a bunch of European dates. Thanks guys. See full summer tour dates over at Pitchfork.
