Glass Candy and Chromatics Launch Tour

Kati Llewellyn reports:
Glass Candy and Chromatics are two peas in a pod. Both bands call Portland, Oregon and the Troubleman Unlimited label home. Both are punky and glamorous. Both recently released dance singles: Glass Candy with "Iko" and Chromatics with "Nite". A press release even states, "both groups share a hazardous approach to making records." No kidding?!

Tonight in their hometown, the bands kick off a North American tour together. The trek will bring Glass Candy and Chromatics across the continent and back over the course of the next two months.
