Built to Spill begins June-October tour

| | Comments (0)

One of the most influential beards of our time will soon make its way across North America attached to Doug Martsch’s face. Whether or not you find Built to Spill’s hooks particularly hooking, it’s worth attending one of the band’s shows only to admire its lead singer’s expansive, yet orderly chin hair - graying near the ears, and full in the way his scalp isn’t, like a bottom-heavy Wooly Willy.

The tour kicks off tomorrow in Alberta, where the official bird is the Great Horned Owl, and ends with three dates in Seattle, where the beard reigns above all flora and fauna.
