Jenny Lewis' Nice as Fuck reunite for 10th anniversary tour and album reissue
Nice as Fuck, the trio of Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis, Au Revoir Simone's Erika Spring, and The Like's Tennessee Thomas, will reunite for a short tour this autumn to mark the 10th anniversary of their self-titled album. The record is also being reissued.
The Back As Fuck, Nice As Ever tour begins on 16 October at Sid the Cat in Pasadena, California, and ends on 29 October at Xanadu Roller Arts in Brooklyn. LA-based DJ Alix Brown will join on all dates.
Nice as Fuck, the album, was surprise released back in 2016, featuring politically charged lyrics set to propulsive, minimalist indie rock.
The group played fewer than two dozen gigs in its first run, all in 2016, the first of which was at a rally for Senator Bernie Sanders.
When asked if Nice as Fuck was a one-off record, the band left it open. Spring said: "We're along for the ride just like everybody else... The whole thing came into our lives spontaneously. So we'll see."
