Good news, experimental “celtic” folk-song fans: Everyone’s favorite experimental “celtic” folk-songstress Weyes Blood (Waze blood? Way-es blood? Wise blood? We-yes blood? either way…) has announced that she will be expanding her (already pretty mammoth) summer tour schedule to include a whole bunch of dates opening up for Papa John Murphy (Dr. John Misty [Jay Tillman]) and his fabulous facial hair on her fall tour later this year.
The tour, which also includes dates at Pitchfork Music Festival, Primavera, Roskilde, and other major festivals, will be in support of her most recent album Front Row Seat To Earth and will take her to some of her biggest venues yet.
The new leg (where she joins up with her dad, Father John) will begin in Toronto at Massey Hall on September 18 and will feature an extended trip with Dr. Father Johannes through our great land, forging a partnership that is sure to provide “total entertainment forever.” Once she becomes “bored in the U.S.A.,” she will go to Europe and conclude her tour in Lisbon in late November.
For a little pre-tour-date-reading entertainment, here’s her video for “Generation Why.” It sounds like it’s from the ’60s, but also has iPhones, old Nokia phones, and hipster Che Guevara drinking Gatorade? I don’t even know anymore.
