Fiery Furnaces Plan Summer Tour and Fall Album

Even the Fiery Furnaces have limits to their unconventionality. For example, like regular bands, they sometimes put out albums and tour. What a bunch of sell-outs.

The band should be right at home with fellow peculiars Tortoise and the Sea and Cake on Chicago’s Thrill Jockey Records, which will release their next album in October. Besides the LP's title, Widow City, no other titillating information is available.

However! A few new songs have been guaranteed to show up on the Furnaces’ “Fourth of July Tour” (which includes no July 4 performance, ha ha).

It goes exactly like this:

June:
21 - Cleveland, Ohio @ Grog Shop
22 - Chicago, Ill. @ Empty Bottle
23 - Ann Arbor, Mich. @ Blind Pig
25 - Toronto, Ont. @ The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern
26 - Ottawa, Ont @ Babylon Club
28 - Philadelphia, Penn. @ North Star
29 - Boston, Mass. @ Paradise Rock Club
30 - Hoboken, N.J. @ Maxwell's

July:
1 - Brooklyn, N.Y. @ Studio B
5 - Washington, D.C. @ Black Cat
6 - Raleigh, N.C. @ Lincoln Theater
7 - Atlanta, Ga. @ The Earl
