BROOKLYN DUO NOMINATED FOR “BEST LIVE ACT” AWARD
One of the hardest-working touring bands there ever was, Matt and Kim, announce a ton of festival dates across North America this summer. The indie dance duo followed up their sold-out Fall 2012 LIGHTNING Tour via a great run of shows with Passion Pit, including a sold out show at Madison Square Garden. They look forward to bringing their undeniably fun, high energy to festivals like this Saturday’s The Great GoogaMooga in Brooklyn, Boston Calling, Milwaukee’s Summerfest, Bonnaroo, Firefly, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Seattle’s Bumbershoot and many more all summer long! Check out the dates below and keep an eye on http://mattandkimmusic.com/tour/ as more festival dates are announced.
Matt and Kim are also finalists for the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM) “Best Live Act” Libera Award. The “LIBBY” Awards will be held Thursday, June 20 at NYC’s Highline Ballroom, closing out A2IM’s 8th Annual Indie Week. Nominated in the category alongside Matt and Kim are Alabama Shakes, AWOLNATION, Bloc Party, Ra Ra Riot, Delta Spirit, Hatebreed, and M83. We hope the judges see what the press and fans have been praising Matt and Kim for at every live show:
