Dawes Heading to Sxsw but Went to Africa First [stream]

Looks like it’s going to be an epic spring for the always incredible Dawes. See, everyone’s favorite Americana band is doing SXSW, playing a string of independent record store shows, releasing a new album on April 9, oh, and then doing some shows with Bob Dylan! Bob effing Dylan! If all this news doesn’t make your head spin, well, then get that thing looked at. And, if it doesn’t seem like they’re busy enough, Dawes will be in Rwanda this week working with Nothing But Nets, a campaign looking to end malaria deaths and raise awareness about the disease. Check the tour dates below while you listen to “From A Window Seat,” above, from the upcoming record, Stories Don’t End.
