Wilco confronts its past with new concert dates :: Music News :: Articles

In an October interview with Josh Ritter, some dude at the Idaho Statesman referred to Paste as "the niche music magazine for white guys who love Wilco."

It's a valid point, really. This publication does, in fact, employ some Caucasian males. And yes, some of them enjoy the musical stylings of Jeff Tweedy and company.

Come to think of it, Wilco is a quintessential Paste band: earnest, intelligent, rewarding over the long-term and restlessly creative. So you can bet we're excited about the latest tour from Wilco, one that includes a five-night residency at Chicago's Riviera Theater that will explore the group's full discography.

“Over the five nights, we will attempt the ‘complete Wilco’ and try to clear out the dusty corners of the catalog that we haven't attended to in a while," Tweedy said in a statement.

After the Wilco nostalgia series, the group will then take off through the Midwest, East Coast and South.
