If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down. If it’s 2011, it’s time for a Lightning Bolt tour!

Everyone knows there is more than one way to skin a cat, but the very best way is to sit them down with a Lightning Bolt record. The lil’ critters just jump out of their skins listening to that befuddling mix of hissing, purring, trilling, meowing, growling, feral frenzy! Alas, Lightning Bolt albums are not the most frequent of species (last seen back in 2009), but cool cats and warm pussies everywhere will get the itch just thinking about the fact that the duo has announced a month-load of US shows. Brians Chippendale and Gibson hit American spaces both big and small beginning on March 31 in beautiful downtown Albany, New York and running through to the end of April.
