The Fits formed just last May and their debut record, “A Thing Called Divine Fits,” has been well-received by critics and fans alike, garnering a B+ rating from The Onion’s A.V. Club as well as positive marks from the New York Times, who noted that despite the group’s patchwork nature, the debut album feels like “a collection of shared songs, not the pile of individual wills.”

The Divine Fits have beenย booked toย play at a few large summer music festivals includingย Bonnaroo and SXSW, so this will be a great chance for Iowa City patrons to catch them at a more personal, indoor venue. With that said, show up early, because this is sure to be one of the bigger shows of the 2013 Mission Creek Festival.

  1. I was seriously thinking about checking this show out… then I heard the camper cover… after that, I went downtown and bought a ticket at the Record Collector(thx tRC). I have naught but great respect for DF’s choice of b-side. Thank you, John Miller, you made my day.
