The Silver Jews are coming soon to a town near you
Hot off the release of their brand new album, Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea, the Silver Jews have unveiled a rather extensive U.S. tour, set to begin in August. As DoucheBagFace points out, the tour will mark the live return of the Nashville, Tennessee natives, who up until recently, had refused to tour.
It’s not miserable. I like being on stage. I don’t like the driving. We are going to tour this fall but I don’t think it will continue on into my forties. I’d like to get doing something else. Playing live is a happy ending to the silver jews, more than it is a new beginning.
