Chris Rediske reports:
Emboldened by their placement at lucky number seven on our year-end best album list, or by the assorted other accolades Chutes Too Narrow received from many and sundry publications and right-thinking individuals, or just by the fact that they made a fucking great album... whichever theory you prefer (and we're not so self-involved so as to not favor the third), The Shins are taking their narrow chutes to the peoples of the coasts this February, with a schedule that includes what must be a record for an 17-date tour, with FOUR two-night stands.
And it seems American cities aren't the only ones being two-timed, as the Shins will pay visits to both David Letterman and Conan O'Brien at either end of the trip, courteously spaced a month apart. Smoooooth. Near the end of this month you can expect a menage a three appearances at various London clubs, with the hottest ticket understandably being a double-bill with Modest Mouse on the 21st. Here are the specs, my peeps:
01-13 New York, NY - Late Show with David Letterman
01-20 London, England - Arts Cafe
01-21 London, England - Garage/Scala (w/ Modest Mouse)
01-22 London, England - Monarch Barfly
01-31 Seattle, WA - Showbox
02-01 Seattle, WA - Showbox
02-02 Portland, OR - Roseland Theater
02-04 San Francisco, CA - The Fillmore
02-05 Los Angeles, CA - Henry Fonda Theater
02-06 Los Angeles, CA - Henry Fonda Theater
02-08 Mission Beach, CA - Canes Ballroom

02-11 Washington, D.C. - Black Cat
02-13 Boston, MA - The Roxy
02-14 New York, NY - Irving Plaza
02-15 New York, NY - Irving Plaza

Why does DC have to be mid week
