The tour has begun and tonight Wolf Parade head to Portland, Maine. Having never played the Port City before, it should be an incredible show. For those of you that can’t make it out to the shows this summer, you can watch Wolf Parade from home! Pitchfork has announced it will be webcasting their 3 day festival, which includes a performance from Wolf Parade on Saturday July 17th at 6:15 CST:
if you can’t make it down to Union Park, there’s an alternative. Once again, you’ll be able to watch the Pitchfork Music Festival as it happens through a live webcast that will run on the media page of the Festival website. Optimus, via its production arm ONE at Optimus, will serve as the official webcast production partner, in aspects of coordinating, shooting, and producing live video feeds of the performances.
Since the tour has started two brand new shirts have been added to the Wolf Parade Store:

Wolf Parade – Live in Montreal
From Spin.com (Photo cred: Susan Moss)
Last night Wolf Parade played their first of two nights in Montreal at Le National. According to some kids on the forum, the band were nervous prior to the show. However this did not appear to be the case when they got on stage, as fans report the band looked right at home. The band head south to Portland, Maine on Sunday for their first U.S. show of the year.
