America's La Dispute will be embarking on what is to be a kickass tour of Australia mid-year, bringing with them Pianos Become the Teeth from Baltimore.

Here they are. Coming to show us what they've got. Welcome them at a venue near you!

Where all these people with instruments came from is anyone's guess, but the second their music crashed down on the unsuspecting audience, it was pretty clear we were in for something decidedly different.
