GAYNGS are heading out on a small tour, playing a few club dates and a few festival dates. Not the whole gang, but enough of them. Among the twenty-something contributors to the band, the ones that will be around for the shows are Justin Vernon and Mike Noyce of Bon Iver, main dude Ryan Olson, Zak Coulter and Adam Hurlburt of Solid Gold, Jake Luck of Leisure Birds [editor’s note: awww yeah!], Ivan Rosebud of duh, Brad Cook and Joe Westerlund of Megafaun, and Mike Lewis of Andrew Bird. Sounds like a pretty good group… going on tour with 20+ people would be a nightmare. The tour kicks off in Minneapolis and all the shows are happening on the West Coast and Texas.
GAYNGS released Relayted (TMT Review) last year via Jagjaguwar.
