Eliot, Twins Katie, who started the indie band Waxahatchee, and Allison Crutchfield, who formed alternative group Swearin’, announced that they are coming back together this upcoming fall for 6-date reunion tour in the US.

The band will be joined by Montreal post-punk group Ought, and Brooklyn Punks Aye Nako, who will both be at the New Alt Music Fest as well, and Adult Mom joining everyone too.
The twins have been very busy as of late with their side projects, Katie’s band Waxahatchee is reissuing early material for the upcoming EP Early Recordings, which will be released in June via Merge, accompanied with a full tour, leaving her only a month before the reunion with her sister and their first band.
