Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy & The Cairo Gang continue their march across the Southern and mid-Atlantic portions of the United States to bring you a fresh slice of the finest country-tinged folk warbling around, probably with a few tracks from the upcoming Bonnie album on each setlist.
Joining Bonnie & The Gang at most of the shows will be The Phantom Family Halo, whom BPB teamed up with to release a limited-edition 10-inch called The Mindeater earlier this year on Sophomore Lounge Records. While the SLR site lists the limited-to-1000 release as sold out, one hopes they have a few of the opaque blue and/or special ‘haze’ colored pressings for sale on the tour. Or, for all of you who aren’t obscure vinyl fetishists, just wait for the CD version to be released on Partisan Records sometime later this year.
To find out what Will Oldham’s facial hair is currently up to, make sure and check him and the gang out at one of their upcoming shows.
