Tindersticks ready for U.S. return

By Alex Young on December 19th, 2008

It may have taken a while - five years to be exact - but the Tindersticks are finally read to return to North America. In support of its recently released seventh studio album, The Hungry Saw, the legendary British outfit composed of founding members Stuart Staples, David Boulter, and Neil Fraser along with the new rhythm section of Dan McKinna, Thomas Belhom, Terry Edwards, and Andrew Nice will make their first live performances in the U.S. and Canada since 2006 beginning next March.

So far, the Tindersticks have unveiled seven stops, kicking off on March 4th in Philadelphia, though more are likely to be announced in the coming weeks.

The band reformed in 2007 following a lengthy hiatus, in which during frontman Stuart Staples embarked on what proved to be a fairly successful solo career.
