After successful tours with The Kooks and The Hold Steady, rocking the hell out of McCarren Pool and heading out to Chicago tomorrow for Lollapalooza, Illinois gets to kick back, relax and spend a half hour on their own couches back in Bucks County.  Actually, they’ll get exactly a half hour to watch as their song ‘Nosebleed’ is prominently featured on the 3rd episode of this season of Weeds.  You can catch the episode on Showtime, Monday August 27th at 10pm. 

The boys then jump back in the van and head out with Menomena on their US Tour.
