A couple tour announcements went out yesterday.

On the homefront: Indie artist Samia announced her tour with Venus & The Flytraps will grace The Waiting Room stage Oct. 21. Her single, “Honey,” from the album of the same name released in January on Grand Jury Records, is on super-rotation on Sirius XMU and is destined to be the sing-along song of the year (at least among the indie kids). Venus and the Flytraps are an indie duo whose music is in the same vein as Samia. Tix are $25 DOS.

In the “Away” category, Norwegian electronic music duo Röyksopp  entered the national consciousness when Geico used their song “Remind Me” for one of their “so easy a cave man could do it” commercials back in 2004. They rarely tour the states but announced a North American tour yesterday in support of their 2022 album Profound Mysteries. Closest pass to Omaha:

• 9/26 – Summit, Denver, CO
• 9/28 – Concord Music Hall, Chicago, IL
