It’s been a while since Belle and Sebastian graced the U.S. with its presence, but following news that they are in the studio finishing up a new album (cue: squeee!) comes a slew of North American tour dates.
So far, the tour kicks off in September in New York and takes B&S to several major U.S. cities throughout October. The band will also play two dates in Mexico. This is on the tail of U.K. festivals and a first visit to both Switzerland and Singapore in August.
Dates:

October

7 – Guadalajara, Mexico @ Teatro Estudio Cavaret

Not to be negative, but oh boy! American tour dates! And nothing more southern than D.C., and nothing in the west besides L.A. & San Fransisco. I know this stuff is supposed to whet our appetites for more tour dates, but dude. I hate living in Florida.
