They hadn’t announced an NYC show ahead of the album’s release, or as part of their North American arena tour, and now they’re making up for that: they’ve announced two intimate, last minute shows, one at NYC’s Irving Plaza on Thursday (4/30), and another at Sayreville, NJ’s Starland Ballroom on Saturday (5/2).
