(PRWEB) September 2, 2005 -- After releasing their debut The Soft Society, the Krautrock/ psyche-soul practioneer Shawn Hewitt hits the road again.
"If you can imagine Donny Hathaway singing on Can's Ege Bamyasi you'll have some idea of where Hewitt and crew began with The Soft Society," screams NOW.
Recently completing a successful tour of western Canada with Matador recording artist Pretty Girls Make Graves and Arts & Crafts new signees The Most Serene Republic. After driving and sleeping in vans for what seemed like forever, Hewitt & TNS now get set visit Canadian campuses with k-os, before heading south of the border. Hewitt & gang will also play CMJ in NYC and Philadelphia with The Roots & TV On The Radio. In between shows, jobs and the daily grind, Hewitt & The National Strike also found time to make a video for the stunning Stockholm Syndrone.
