New Tour Dates For The Mountain Goats

One small word about these shows. For years bands have been pretty judicious about playing unreleased new material, because much of it becomes available online immediately, even when the new songs are still in fairly raw form. We, too, have gotten into the bad habit of holding new stuff back. We are done with that whole philosophy, though. I miss playing stuff that’s unreleased & unrecorded, stuff that still stings fresh. So we got together and decided to tour the new songs before we even record them. I don’t guess that we’ll be touring all ten of the new songs I’ve written for the next album (eleven if you count one that’s presently being herded back and forth between its cell & the chopping block), but be advised that if you’re the sort of person who wants as many surprises as possible when you hear a new album, you should tread lightly around recordings of these shows, because we’re not going to be holding the best ones back for the album release like people tend to do now.

They’re coming to Atlanta, Athens, and New Orleans which are all reasonable driving distance (in that order) from Tuscaloosa. 

Although I feel like if I go see them, it’s gotta be the Denton, TX show which unfortunately is almost half-a-day away from here. But.. it’s gotta be that show, right?

Hope I don’t have anything important to do March 8-10.
