British pop sensations Gus, Sarah, and Jamie of Kero Kero Bonito are on tour in support of their latest album Bonito Generation which debuted only a few weeks ago. Chicago readers might be interested in seeing them at Sub-T on October 26 and national readers are encouraged to check out their full tour schedule.
