NYC indie outfit The French Kicks have just announced a series of tour dates to begin January 19 in Seattle. The tour comes in support of their new single/video, the title track to last year’s acclaimed album Trial Of The Century. StarTime International labelmates Dios Malos will be onboard for all dates, except The French Kicks February 17 homecoming gig at the Bowery Ballroom.
