Newfound Interest In Connecticut Announce First Tour In 18 Years
The Newfound Interest In Connecticut are an emo/post-rock band from [checks notes] Toronto, Ontario, who formed in 1999. They put out one really solid album in 2005 called Tell Me About the Long Dark Path Home — which kind of sounds like a more skramz-y Spiderland — and broke up that same year. After recently announcing they’d be reuniting for their hometown’s own New Friends Festival later this year, they’ve mapped out a handful of tour dates.
“These shows are a celebration of the way art can sometimes have a life of its own,” the band says (via BrooklynVegan). “We were lucky enough to create something that, despite us being inactive for years, still continues to resonate with more and more people. We view this as a chance to honor that, the connection people have found because we know with albums we love how important that can be.”
What’s more, the Newfound Interest In Connecticut also just reissued their 2002 debut EP Less Is More Or Less, making it available digitally for the first time. Stream that and see the tour dates below.

Two people have been arrested in connection to a shooting at an event hall in Waterbury last weekend.
Officers received information about a shooting at So Blu’Niq on Wolcott Street on Sunday around 5 a.m. It was also reported that a victim from the incident had admitted themselves to the hospital for treatment of gunshot wounds.
Police said they made contact with the 27-year-old victim at the hospital. According to investigators, she had a gunshot wound to her abdomen and her arm. She is reportedly still admitted and receiving treatment, but is considered to be in stable condition.
Investigators responded to So Blu’Niq and found a crime scene. Authorities said they determined there was an isolated disturbance that happened inside the business that escalated to a firearm being discharged and the woman being hit by a projectile.
While investigating, authorities said they also determined that at the time of the incident, liquor and alcoholic beverages were illegally being sold without a permit or license.
Warrants were secured for a 50-year-old woman from Waterbury and a 29-year-old man from Waterbury.
The woman was taken into custody on Friday and is being charged with illegal sale of alcohol. She is set to appear in court on June 10.
The man was taken into custody on Wednesday and is facing charges including assault, criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of a pistol/revolver by a convicted felon, illegal discharge of a firearm, reckless endangerment and carrying a pistol without a permit. He appeared in court on Thursday on a $1.5 millon bond.
