Beck announces summer tour

| | Comments (0)

It's not officially summer until three things happen: neighborhood pools open, really smart people get really terrible tans, and Beck announces his latest warm-weather tour. Well, it's time to grab the SPF 15 and light up the BBQ, because everybody's favorite Midnite Vulture is headlining a summer trek that's sure to get all you neon mamacitas' totally bzooty. What's "bzooty" mean, you ask? Look it up in the Becktionary. (For more detailed information, please refer to the Encyclopedia Becktanica.)

Before hitting up the U.S., Mr. Hansen has a bunch of European dates in June and July. He'll make it back home at the end of August, stopping by the Bumbershoot and Austin City Limits festivals in September. No word on whether he'll be performing new material from his upcoming Danger Mouse-produced album or those tracks he recorded with Jamie Lidell about a year ago. But a guy can hope, right?
