Carsick Cars, From China, Touring North America To Support "Maybe Mars," Offer Free Download Of Single, "15 Minutes Older"

Carsick Cars a Chinese pop, punk noise band are set to head out on a North American tour to support their just released LP, Maybe Mars. Dates are below. You can check out (and download free) the song, 15 Minutes Older.

Apparently the band has engendered enthusiasm in their homeland (hard for me to verify, I don't read Chinese). They've appeared at festivals such as Primavera (Barcelona) and All Tomorrow's Parties. They also recently toured Europe with Sonic Youth. And Sonic Youth is a good reference point for the little bit of the band's music I have heard.

If you get a chance, head out to see them.
