Okay, they don't want to give you a $500 Macy's gift certificate. No one does. Ever. But Indian Jewelry do want to give you the gift of music when they hit the road in April and May, starting at The Mink in Houston, TX on April 18 and ending on my birthday at Bottle Tree in Birmingham, AL!
All terrible segues aside, Indian Jewelry are indeed playing live all over the place, and while I haven't seen them yet, I'm simply dying to. I can just imagine the hypnotic carnage that will be on display. It will surely be the sensory equivalent of getting a shocker from Hellboy. No doubt about it. For those that need titillation in their news stories, it looks like I.J. will only be playing one BALLroom on this upcoming tour

The fractious sect, who is beloved by both in-tune yogis and hip gem lovers everywhere, claim to have been holed up recording their latest, greatest in Humboldt Park, Chicago and a private residence in Houston, TX (but not in a Yearning for Zion polygamist community compound in West Texax -- I repeat, NOT in a Yearning for Zion polygamist community compound in West Texas).
