julie has announced new headlining North American live dates, the tour includes stops in Chicago, New York City, Austin, and more before wrapping up with a hometown show in Los Angeles. julie will be supported by They Are Gutting A Body of Water, Frost Children, and Her New Knife on select dates. The band’s tour announcement follows the release lead single “clairbourne practice,” which arrived with a visualizer directed by Lizzie Klien and julie. Additionally, julie will be supporting Faye Webster this July for a string of shows ahead of supporting Alex G this August. julie is also set to perform headline shows with support from hello mary and Dutch Interior on select dates.

julie goes back to the late 2010s when vocalist and guitarist Keyan Pourzand and drummer Dillon Lee were joined by vocalist and bassist Alexandria Elizabeth. Holding a mutual affinity towards shadowy and adventurous music, the trio played shows with local acts around Orange County in high school before relocating to Los Angeles in 2019 for design school, where they began writing the songs that would make up their debut album my anti-aircraft friend. In 2021, julie released their EP pushing daisies, which includes the tracks “skipping tiles” and “april’s-bloom” and proceeded their 2022 double single “pg.4 picture of three hedges” / “through your window.”

The band’s forthcoming debut album my anti-aircraft friend is the work of people who have become steeped in alternative music’s history, learned how it works within their own musical sensibilities, and now use it to warp conventions and turn tropes on their head. Additionally, with each member of the band a multidisciplinary artist – Pourzand does sculpture work and Brady writes and paints, while Lee is also a painter as well as illustrator – the band deliberates and conceives every element of their releases, not just the music but the art and packaging, all the way down to what instruments they play onstage.
