VIDEO: "Wild Mountain Nation" - http://youtube.com/watch?v=zoY9qtHm6vs

Portland's Blitzen Trapper hit the road for the first time ever in 2007, despite having been a band for over half a decade. They had the good fortune to tour with The Hold Steady, David Vandervelde, Two Gallants, etc. last year in support of their third album, the self-released Wild Mountain Nation. The band also signed to Sub Pop, who will be releasing the band's fourth LP (no street date available just yet). To kick off 2008, the band has planned its first headlining tour of the US, they'll be taking along the exciting new Seattle band Fleet Foxes. In addition, there are shows along the way with Menomena, Grand Archives, Beach House, Papercuts and Mahjongg. Also, the band has recorded a new 6 song tour-only EP which will be for sale exclusively at these shows.
