[kj] Official 2016 US/Canada Tour Announced:

[Kevin Marion]

Nice to see a full fledged tour this time, hitting several places in the US & Canada (albeit 2 shows).

I'll admit, I was hoping they'd play The Empty Bottle in Chicago again.  I travelled several hours to see them there more than once this past decade, and is a perfect venue.  This place holds 400 people maximum - how long had it been for most of us to see them in such a personal & intimate setting?  It is gonna be hard to give that up and see them in a thousand capacity venue.  I got spoiled!

Thalia Hall (replica of an old Prague Opera house) holds 840 max.  I'm thinking of heading to Skullys Music Diner in Columbus, which also holds 800.  Sure wish I lived near Baltimore (Ottobar holds 400), because they'll get the best opportunity to really "feel" the band.  I've missed the chance to meet up with other Gatherers in the past but I really hope to this time.

Thanks,
Kevin Marion

 I am very happy to see them in the Twin Cities again
 after more than a decade of having to schlep to Chicago,
 which I'll probably still do anyway. Everything else is
 geographically challenging; too bad there aren't any
 dates in Madison or Milwaukee.
 
 
 
 Excited also to see Soft Moon, frequent name-checkers of
 KJ and possessed of a lot of credibility with the young
 people. i do hope it won't be a situation where the kids
 snap up all the tickets and then bail after SM plays.
 I've seen it happen with other
  bands in similar situations. Fingers crossed.

 Agreed. I'm in MI. I don't want to go to
 Chicago. Maybe I'll do Columbus for a change

 Indeed February in NYC is no fun,
 but hey …. I have something to look forward to now.
 Although, *WHY* always Irving Plaza? Why not the Bowery
 Ballroom for a change?

 Very happy LA is in the
 middle of the tour with a day’s prior break and not the
 final stop on the tour (when the band are usually burned
 out) as has
  been the case on most previous US tours.  Interesting
 they are playing the intimate (and GA) Regent Theater which
 is literally right around the corner from Skid Row in
 downtown LA.  Only
  downside I see is that they will likely hit bad Winter
 weather on much of this trek, especially on the East
 Coast.
