The Clientele Kick Off North American Tour

The Clientele

The Clientele isn't just for corporations or Ghostface; bands have clientele, too-- it's you, the fans. Even the Clientele have clientele (whoa, did your brain just liquefy?), and in order to stay in business, the British indie pop band must offer products desirable to consumers. The Clientele's latest piece of merchandise, the Best New Music-anointed album Strange Geometry, came out last week on Merge Records and, well, talk about a proof for an excellent album (geometry...proof...get it)! Starting Sunday night in Toronto, the Clientele will hawk their goods and services across North America. We already reported these dates, but hey, a reminder can't hurt.
