Jenny Lewis’ Nice as Fuck Reunite for U.S. Tour

Nice as Fuck—the long-dormant trio of Jenny Lewis, Erika Spring, and Tennessee Thomas—have, with little warning, emerged from hibernation. A decade after after their sole, self-titled album, Lewis, Spring, and Thomas are hitting the road once again. The October trek starts out West, at Sid the Cat in Pasadena, before heading East through Chicago. DJ Alix Brown will open at all dates of the anniversary tour. Scroll down to see the full itinerary.

Lewis, Spring, and Thomas began performing together in 2016. (They played their debut show at a rally for Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign.) Nice as Fuck isn’t the only Lewis-fronted band that’s made a comeback as of late; Rilo Kiley reunited just last year at California’s Just Like Heaven music festival, leading to a full headlining tour. Nice as Fuck is also receiving a vinyl reissue after being out of print since its initial release.
