Black Hat Brigade's Early Fathers Day

After a well-received (though unfortunately hatless) Canadian Music Week performance, Brampton, Ont. quintet Black Hat Brigade are set to release and play in support of their sophomore EP.

Fathers will be launched with a May 29 performance at Toronto's El Mocambo and will be available through iTunes. The follow-up to last year's self-titled debut includes the theremin-friendly lead single “Zombie City Shake,” which you can hear on the group's MySpace page.

Black Hat Brigade have these dates scheduled:

May 21 Montreal, QC @ Le Divan Orange
May 22 Ottawa, ON @ Café Deckuf
May 29 Toronto, ON @ El Mocambo (Pitter Patter Festival)
May 30 Peterborough, ON @ The Montreal House (Pitter Patter Festival)
June 18 Toronto, ON @ The Drake Hotel w/Oh No Forest Fires, Amos The Transparent and The Balconies (North By Northeast Music Festival)
