Ratboys’ Singin’ to an Empty Chair, out now via New West Records, is one of the best records of the year so far. It has been absolutely raved about by fans and critics alike, landing a Pitchfork profile and a “Best New Music” review, a SPIN cover story, and love from The New York Times, NPR Music, Rolling Stone, The Athletic, Vulture, Variety, Vice, Stereogum, Uproxx, Tape Op, and more. Continuing off a string of sold-out shows in Toronto, Boston, New York City (x2), Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, Chicago, and others, they’re pleased to announce they’re expanding their North American tour. These newly-announced dates included cities they haven’t played in years, plus Massachusett’s Green River Festival. Nashville Scene sums it up well – “with Singin’ to an Empty Chair, Ratboys have created a space for holding nothing back. Witness them rip through the record live.”
