Nina Persson Covers White Stripes, Needs Some Fine Wine, Wants To See You In Person

I'm always amazed how many Cardigans fans write us. You guys are a bit of a cult, aren't you?

Thank Dave for news of this Super Extra overdue American tour. Ten years after "Lovefool" stole our hearts too. Tickets available at Ticketmaster.

9/15 Paradise Rock Club Boston, MA
9/16 First Unitarian Church Philadelphia
9/18 Irving Plaza New York, NY
9/20 The Opera House Toronto, ON
9/23 Metro Chicago, IL
9/24 Fine Line Music Cafe Minneapolis, MN

Better late than never, here's Nina's White Stripes cover we were talkin' 'bout a few months ago. (Thanks Courtney!)

I love the Cardigans, however you should be aware the band posted this comment on their website:

I don´t know why the US tour has been announced yet. We in the band has NOT accepted the budget for the whole trip yet and for me it´s unaccaptable to announce a tour before it´s all set. So all of you who celebrate now, you may be in for a big dissapointment. Sorry to say this, but it´s the truth.

The band

They will announce when it is confirmed. In the meantime, Super Extra Gravity is one awesome record!

Delayed? 10 years? You make it sound like they have never been on tour here... I saw them in Detroit with Kent @ St Andrews hall for the "Gran Tourismo" tour... that was prolly like 1998? 1999?

they played toronto in support of Long Gone Before Daylight in 2004. And they were on that awful cosmetics-sponsored tour with Liz Phair that same year.

I thought Nina was gorgeous in the "Lovefool" video (the only one I've ever seen).
