Divine Fits are the new band for Spoon frontman Britt Daniel and Wolf Parade/Handsome Furs bro Dan Boeckner, who're joined by drummer Sam Brown (a former member of greaser-rock outfit New Bomb Turks). The band were formed in the wake of the break-up of Handsome Furs, the project Boeckner split with his (ex-?) wife Alexei Perry over three impressive LPs.Divine Fits will release their first LP, A Thing Called Divine Fits, on August 28, via Merge Records. Two singles from the set are already kicking 'round online: "Would That Not Be Nice" and "My Love Is Real" each up on Merge's Soundcloud.
"My Love Is Real" will be pressed up as a 7" for vinyl lovers, with Merge releasing the single on July 31. No Divine Fits tour dates have yet been scheduled, but they do have one festival appearance booked: October 13 at San Francisco's Treasure Island Music Festival. As it stands, this would mark their first-ever show; they may have an LP under their belts, but Divine Fits are yet to debut as a live-band...
