Built to Spill can't stop, won't stop touring

You've got to admire Built to Spill's work ethic. Fresh off of a tour last winter and spring, the Boise-based alt-rock legends recently announced their forthcoming LP and the Perfect From Now On tour, a sprawling jaunt across America and Europe that starts in September. Doug Martsch and his scrappy troop of power-pop impresarios just unveiled more shows on the European leg of this already-titanic excursion, which now stretches well into November.
