It may seem counterintuitive for someone named Sea Wolf to be traveling throughout the good ol' U.S. of A. and parts above and in between (read: Canada and Missouri) in a chartered bus when he could be traversing over water crouched on all fours, scavenging for morsels off raw leg-bones while marking his territory along the way. But we would be the last to tell pack leader Alex Brown Church what to do. With the Dangerbird-issued gem Leaves in the River behind him, Church and his collected abetters will continue to promote the guts out of it onstage with a long string of dates beginning mid-May.
This tour is the first headliner for Sea Wolf, who has/have previously played with Nada Surf and Silversun Pickups, but it is all part of an elaborate scheme for world domination: first opening slots, then a headline tour, then acquiring a speed dial list of celebrity heroes like Kim Kardashian and the “Half” from Two and a Half Men. I love it when a plan comes together

Still here? Well, we would be remiss to not mention that Sea Wolf has contributed the exclusive “Song of the Magpie” to an Augusten Burroughs audio book. A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father will be available April 29 and features Burroughs' reading alongside songs by Sea Wolf, Patti Smith (with daughter Jesse), Ingrid Michaelson, and Tegan (sans Sara).
