It's been two years since we last heard from Mila Ahtisaari and her crew of Las Vegas-based experimental pop-punk darlings
archaic couture*. 2009's album "Make Something Count" found much praise, and the band's "No Time Left for Sleeping" tour was the top-grossing ticket seller in it's genre for that summer. Constant lineup changes set the band silent, with members coming and going, but now in 2011,
archaic couture* is set to make an impact with a new album and a new tour. Though no set date has been announced for a new album, tentative dates have now been scheduled for an American early-summer tour, pending what bands will be joining as support.
