Hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico, The Shins have now given us two albums of scintillating, chiming, reflective and perfectly skewed pop innovation, with songs that range from acoustic to electric, psychedelic to indie.

Touring the east coast of Australia in December 2003, shortly after the release of their now revered “Chutes Too Narrow” album, they wowed those in the know with their live performances, & have since gone about deservedly selling a substantial quantity of that record.

So without any further adieu, Handsome Tours are rather chuffed to once again welcome The Shins back to our shores for a national tour in February 2005.
