Back before they were freaking out Letterman, The Orwells were just another bunch of dudes from suburban Chicago intent on making as much noise as possible. And as they’ve seen their profile grow, they’ve done their best to hold on to their raucous spirit no matter the venue.

The quintet will be bringing their mayhem across the country over the next couple of weeks on the fourth annual Converse Rubber Tracks tour, which pairs the headlining band with a prominent local act from each tour stop. They kicked things off right on Saturday night with Twin Peaks and Shark? at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg and will roll into Boston’s Sinclair tonight with Nice Guys.

The full range of dates are below. You can grab your free tickets here.
