Behind their latest and greatest, Popular Songs, Yo La Tengo are currently winding their way through nearly every European city you’re currently daydreaming about. When they’re done smelling the flowers over there, they’re planning on playing some more dates in Japan, perhaps another spot more glamorous then the desk chair to which you/we’re glued. Life is tough. And while that tour may be massive and cosmopolitan, it does overlook a cities in Middle America still thirsting to hear new Yo La Tengo songs stretched out in a live setting. So that’s where they’re going come January, at which point they’ll head off on a tour down the center of our country and, in an even more thoughtful move, play shows that’ll require no additional surcharges when you buy a ticket at local record stores of their choosing. You can get all additional info here as well as see that aforementioned stretch of European and Japanese dates here.
