Buzzy indie band Surfer Blood, whose origins lie in Orlando, have announced an extensive U.S. tour that will eventually deliver them to the stage of SXSW in March.

The guys (whom we like a lot) are staying true to their roots by playing the Back Booth on Jan. 26 (with Monotonix!) and Feb. 16, and the worth-the-drive DaVinci café in DeLand on Feb. 17. Somehow they're playing the U.K. in between and all over these states afterward, so catch them here while you can.
