The Shins were formed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but are now based in Portland, Oregon. Their new album, Port of Morrow, was just released this past March. This spring they snagged the coveted spot on SNL along with an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and David Letterman. Their massive 2012 tour which covers North America, Japan, and the UK has been backed by singer/songwriter Richard Swift, Modest Mouse drummer Joe Plummer, Yuuki Matthews of Crystal Skulls and Jessica Dobson. Their big North American summer festival stop is at Lollapalooza on August 3rd! Check for ticket availability for Lollapalooza here.
