julie by Silken Weinberg my anti-aircraft friend PRE-ORDER / SAVE: https://julie.lnk.to/myantiaircraftfriend What the press is saying about julie’s new single “clairbourne practice”:  “zooms ahead breathlessly, kicking up clouds of distortion like something off of Isn’t Anything.” Stereogum “julie presents an unwavering vision of their art with a veteran’s conviction.

Tickets for all shows can be found HERE.  julie exploded onto the map in 2020 with their single “flutter,” which has racked up millions of streams since its release. The band’s genesis, however, goes back to the late 2010s when vocalist and guitarist Keyan Pourzand and drummer Dillon Lee were joined by vocalist and bassist Alexandria Elizabeth. Holding a mutual affinity towards shadowy and adventurous music, the trio played shows with local acts around Orange County in high school before relocating to Los Angeles in 2019 for design school, where they began writing the songs that would make up their impending debut album my anti-aircraft friend. In 2021, julie released their EP pushing daisies, which includes the tracks “skipping tiles” and “april’s-bloom” and proceeded their 2022 double single “pg.4 picture of three hedges” / “through your window.”  my anti-aircraft friend is a bold leap, both showcasing a louder, more assured band, while also attaining a core sound the band had been chasing all along. After all those years tinkering and refining their sound, julie’s forthcoming debut album is the work of people who have become steeped in alternative music’s history, learned how it works within their own musical sensibilities, and now use it to warp conventions and turn tropes on their head. Additionally, with each member of the band a multidisciplinary artist – Pourzand does sculpture work and Brady writes and paints, while Lee is also a painter as well as illustrator – the band deliberates and conceives every element of their releases, not just the music but the art and packaging, all the way down to what instruments they play onstage.  For listeners who came of age amidst global pandemics, tumultuous political climates, and a host of looming natural and social crises, the sound of a band like julie could equally be a cathartic escape, or a shelter in which to locate a better sense of self-acceptance in a precarious world.  Pre-order / save my anti-aircraft friend and check out full tour routing and album details below, and stay tuned for more from julie coming very soon.  tour flyer  Upcoming Live Dates += supporting Faye Webster #= supporting Alex G *= w/ hello mary  ^= w/ Dutch Interior ~=w/ They Are Gutting a Body of Water and Her New Knife != w/ Frost Children and Her New Knife 7/22 - Richmond, VA @ Brown’s Island + 7/24 - Washington, DC @ The Anthem + 7/26 - Philadelphia, PA @ The Dell Music Center + 7/27 - Boston, MA @ The Stage @ Suffolk Downs + 7/29 - Pittsburgh, PA @ Stage AE + 7/30 - Detroit, MI @ Royal Oak Music Theatre + 8/01 - St. Louis, MO @ Off Broadway * 8/03 - Boulder, CO @ Fox Theatre * 8/04 - Santa Fe, NM @ Meow Wolf * 8/06 - San Diego, CA @ SOMA # 08/09 - Anaheim, CA @ House of Blues # 8/12 - Santa Cruz, CA @ The Catalyst # 8/13 - Sacramento, CA @ Ace of Spades # 8/15 - Eugene, OR @ McDonald Theatre # 8/16 - Portland, OR @ Hawthorne Theatre ^ 8/17 - Spokane, WA @ Knitting Factory # 8/18 - Seattle, WA @ Neumos ^ 8/20 - Boise, ID @ Knitting Factory # 8/22 - Las Vegas, NV @ House of Blues # 10/8 - San Diego, CA @ Observatory North Park ~ 10/9 - Las Vegas, NV @ 24 Oxford ~ 10/11 - Denver, CO @ Gothic ~ 10/12 - Colorado Springs, CO @ The Black Sheep ~ 10/14 - Minneapolis, MN @ Fine Line ~ 10/15 - Chicago, IL @ Thalia Hall ~ 10/16 - Columbus, OH @ King of Clubs ~ 10/18 - Toronto, ON @ Concert Hall ~ 10/20 - Boston, MA @ Paradise ~ 10/22 - New York, NY @ Webster Hall~ 10/23 - Philadelphia, PA @ Brooklyn Bowl ~ 10/24 - Washington, DC @ 9:30 Club ~ 10/26 - Atlanta, GA @ Terminal West ~ 10/27 - Nashville, TN @ Basement East ~ 10/29 - Dallas, TX @ Trees ~ 10/30 - Houston, TX @ White Oak Music Hall (Downstairs) ! 10/31 - Austin, TX @ Mohawk ! 11/2 - Phoenix, AZ @ Crescent Ballroom ! 11/3 - Phoenix, AZ @ Crescent Ballroom ! 11/6 - San Francisco, CA @ Independent ! 11/7 - Berkeley, CA @ UC Theatre ! 11/13 - Los Angeles, CA @ The Fonda !
