Plenty of really good bands are getting out on the road in the near future, many of which I haven’t actually ever seen live…
- TV on the Radio is headed out for a massive US tour very shortly. Notable stops include a bunch of dates in Canada, two-night runs in Chicago, San Fran. and LA, and a two-night tour-finishing run in Washington, D.C.
- Yo La Tengo will be starting their tour Jan. 25 in Louisville, KY and going through to Feb. 10 before they head to Japan and Australia. I still haven’t gotten into these guys. It’s too daunting — there’s too much history or something that I’d need to acquaint myself with. Hell, just now catching up to Wilco’s back catalog and history took me about a year…anyone have any “here’s where you should start” suggestions on this band for me?
- Speaking of Wilco, the Sansone/Stirrat side-project known as The Autumn Defense is heading out for a nice-sized tour following up their latest self-title release. They look to hit most every part of the country so be on the watch for tickets in your area.
- The Arcade Fire has booked two five-night runs in February (one in Montreal, one in NYC), clearly gearing up for the blitz and a half on their new album Neon Bible.
I might have to consider that TV on the Radio run at the Metro — I love that venue now that it’s non-smoking.
Awesome advice here, thanks guys…
I’ll have to get on that this weekend…

re: Yo La Tengo.
Step 1 – Get thee to a record store.
Step 2 – Purchase a copy of 1997’s “I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One”
Step 3 – Go home, shut out lights, disconnect phones, etc. Play CD front to back on good set of headphones.
Step 4 – Play again.
Step 5 – Play again.
Step 6 – Proceed to buy “Painful” (1993), “Electropura” (1995), “I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass” (2006), and “And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out” (2000), in that order.
Step 7 – thank me later ;-)
