By: Spacelab Research Staff Ted Leo and the Pharmacists have announced their late Spring / Early summer set of tour dates. They'll be touring in support of the upcoming release Living With The Living on Touch And Go Records on March 20th.
The dates include a stops at the Noise Pop Music Festival on March 2nd and gigs at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC, First Avenue in Minneapolis, and Webster Hall in New York.
The new album will be politically-minded like the previous release, 2004's Shake The Sheets, but it's political commentary will NOT be as over the top as the previous album. "...I think I did get backed into a corner with people expecting things. For me, that record is more didactic than I've been about a lot of things. It was actually criticized in some corners for not giving people the explicit, screamy statements they wanted at that time," Said Ted in a recent interview with Billboard.
