I Was a King make NYC debut on May 30

The Norwegen band, I Was a King, are coming to America for a string of tour dates and will be making their NYC debut on May 30 at Mercury Lounge. They'll also hit up Brooklyn the next night (May 31) for a show at Union Hall. Their self-titled album was released last month by The Control Group, so the tour coincides closely with the record.
