Yo La Tengo continues slow march across continent
Indie rockers Yo La Tengo continue to map out visits to all corners of the country with a new slate of club shows in April, as the band continues to hawk its latest set, "I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Kick Your Ass."
The group, which hit many of the southern states during late January and early February, will explore Texas, Oklahoma and a wide swath of the Midwest in April, kicking off with an April 5 show in New Orleans.
Before taking on its newest round of concerts, the band will jet across the Pacific Ocean for a series of shows in Japan and Australia during late February and early March. The group's full overseas itinerary is listed at its website.
"I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Kick Your Ass," which hit stores in September, is the band's 12th studio album and first full-length collection of new material since 2003's "Summer Sun."
Last year, the group released "Yo La Tengo is Murdering the Classics," which features live performances that the group recorded during its 1996-2003 annual fundraising appearances at New York independent radio station WFMU.
Free downloads of two songs from the new album--"Pass the Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind" and "Beanbag Chair"--are available at the band's website.
