Megafaun Announce US & EU Tours!On the road February through April in continued support of Megafaun
The thing about Megafaun’s self-titled album, released on Hometapes last September: it keeps getting better. The double LP’s crisp corners have softened, and you’ve listened to “Get Right” so many times that it plays in your head when the room is quiet. The album that Phil Cook, Joe Westerlund, and Brad Cook were making this time last year, under the blanket of snow of their native Wisconsin, is about to see its first Spring.
Megafaun is headed to Europe in February, and will return to the United States for their first complete nationwide tour in support of Megafaun in March and April. Dates below. More US dates and additional support to be announced in the coming weeks.

“It was a proper send off, culminating with CP delivering his elegy for Conrad. It was poignant, lovely in a way and somehow hard to get your mind around even though you saw it coming. It felt, I suppose, like a loss. When he was through, the man closed by saying, “Conrad Plymouth is dead. Long live Conrad Plymouth”. The end of an era to be sure. And while the promise of resurrection looms somewhere in the distance, for now he’s gone. Maybe in a borrowed grave or maybe he’s lost, waiting to be found again. The band we used to love…”
