The Wedding Present @ Troubadour (Performing Bizarro) Fri 4/2

We’ll grant the Weddoes a pass on the whole full album performance trick that has long since been played out. Happy to have them back on any terms. Bizarro is closer to a true 20-year reunion, but returning Stateside with 1991’s epic Seamonsters might have been a bigger statement.

We do espy a curious gap on 4/18–coincidentally the 3rd day of Coachella–in their North American schedule:

1 : San Diego CA, USA – Casbah
2 : Los Angeles CA, USA – Troubadour
5 : Austin TX, USA – Emo’s
7 : Atlanta GA – Earl with The Jet Age
9 : Washington DC, USA – Black Cat with The Jet Age
10 : Hoboken NJ, USA – Maxwell’s with The Jet Age
11 : New York City NY, USA – Bowery Ballroom
12 : Cambridge MA, USA – Middle East Downstairs
14 : Toronto ON, Canada – Horseshoe Tavern
15 : Pontiac MI, USA – The Pike Room at The Crofoot
16 : Chicago IL, USA – Double Door
17 : Minneapolis MN, USA – 400 Bar
20 : Vancouver BC, Canada – To be confirmed
21 : Seattle WA, USA – Crocodile
22 : Portland OR, USA – Doug Fir Lounge
