Indie country-rock outfit, Wilco recently unveiled plans to continue support for their latest release, Star Wars with tour through the U.S. at the turn of the new year.
Hoisted on the premiere of their refreshingly-vibrant new record, Star Wars, Jeff Tweedy and the rest of the boys of Chicago-roots seek to shop new material, kicking it off in Pittsburgh on January 25. From there, Wilco will trek only the best-of-them, hitting a two-night show-stopper at Brooklyn’s famed: Kings Theatre, February 5th and 6th, before finishing out a rousing journey through America’s eastern-side.
Jeff Tweedy and company will then play a complimentary two-run gig in Atlanta’s heralded: The Tabernacle on February 10th and 11th, only to wrap this leg of the tour the only way they know how, bidding a rousing-finale in Roanoke, VA on February 13th.
Following 2011’s excellent The Whole Love, Wilco dropped their latest effort unexpectedly via free-download last July.
Frontman, Jeff Tweedy details the reasons for lack of conventional-promotion prior to Star Wars’ release:
“I was really dreading the modern roll-out pattern. Usually by the time the record comes out, I hate it… I think it’s done a disservice to our records, the way they’ve been heard in dribs and drabs, and a lot of people think they’ve heard a whole record after hearing one song. That’s not the way Wilco records work.”
