American rock band The Residents is going on tour again, this time celebrating the songs from their 1979 album, Eskimo. The Eskimo Live! Tour will stop at fifteen cities across North America, including Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Vancouver. According to a press release, each show will feature “a full-length performance” of Eskimo, labeled as a “theatrical, immersive experience reimagined from the original master recordings.”

The original Eskimo album was released during the peak of the punk era and marked a change from the band’s previous endeavors. A press release from the band says “it’s part satire, part sound sculpture, and wholly unlike anything before or since.”
