biggest question for the new pornos: will neko case be on this tour? i'm not sure if she was on the last tour, i believe she was out supporting her own album. she is huge. i wonder if they will return to a challengers-heavy set (which i admittedly not too hooked by) or if they will spread it out between all their albums. i would john kruk and phil kessel my left nut to hear them play "stacked crooked," off twin cinema, live. dan bejar is also touring in support of destroyer, i wonder if that will be before or after the NP tour and how that will impact it.
edit: looks like bejar will NOT be with NP this tour, see tour dates below.
another great tour. not too much available for ticket prices yet, but the c-bus show says $21. awesome. nice to see them making stops in not-too-traditional indie rock markets like the 314 and cleveland. and of course, they'll be making stops at 9:30 in washington and the riv in chicago.
i either need to get the fuck out of here asap or just decide to stay for the summer. things are heating up!
