The Tragically Hip crawl American clubs
Canadian rockers The Tragically Hip will spend the fall on the U.S. club circuit, making stops in more than 20 cities to support their latest album, "In Between Evolution."
The group, which consistently tops the charts in Canada, has sold more than 6 million albums worldwide over the course of its 20-year history, according to Zoe/Rounder records. "In Between Evolution," which hit stores in late June, is the follow-up to 2002's "In Violet Light."
Much of the material that ended up on the new set was road-tested before the album was recorded.
“It's the sound of five guys in a room, playing together," frontman/guitarist Gordon Downie said in a statement. "We didn't get involved too much in overdubs. We didn't belabor the songs too much. We got them down in rehearsal, then went out and played them live. We got them succinct. When you take new songs and play them in front of a crowd, that's the last necessary stage to figure out what they need or don't need. You can tell pretty quickly. The crowd helps you do that."
