WHY? to preview new material on Fall theater tour

By July 20, 2011No Comments

Fresh off a small run of sold-out solo dates, WHY? mastermind Yoni Wolf is rounding up his main men for a rare, unplugged-style national tour previewing songs from their much anticipated, still untitled fifth album. Multi-instrumentalists Josiah Wolf and Doug McDiarmid will be on hand for this soft invasion of halls, theaters, churches, chapels, museums and other intimate spaces where people sit down, cozy up, and listen well. Most of the set will be previously unheard, culled from the ongoing writing and recording sessions for WHY?’s next LP, which looks to build upon the taut folk-rap and swaggerful psych-pop of 2008’s Alopecia. Fan favorites, cult classics and covers are to be expected as well, alongside highlights from the band’s most recent record, Eskimo Snow (2009). At each stop, the crowd will be seated, treated to behind-the-scenes jaw-jacking, and given the chance to ask questions. To top it off, WHY? will be selling numbered, hand-screened posters both for the tour and some specific cities along the way.
