The Decemberists will embark on the "Bridesmaid Revisited - Tour 2008" shortly after an election eve performance (November 3rd) on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien". They're scheduled to play their single, "Valerie Plame".
A limited number of pre-sale tickets have gone on sale to the public on a first-come, first-served basis for the Bridesmaid Revisited Tour.
General ticket on-sales begin on Saturday, September 6th, 2008, for East Coast dates and on Saturday, September 13th, for West Coast dates.
Portland-based band Loch Lomond will open on the tour. See below for itinerary; full venue and ticketing information is available at The Decemberists' website.
Always compelling live, this time round the band's shows will include material from its upcoming 'Always The Bridesmaid: A Singles Series', which will be released this fall. Volume I, comprised of "Valerie Plame" and "O New England," is due out October 14th, 2008; Volumes II and III will follow on November 4th and December 2nd respectively.
The series will be available digitally at DSPs, released by Capitol Records, and on 12" vinyl via The Decemberists' own label, Y.A.B.B. Records/Jealous Butcher Records. The vinyl can be purchased at The Decemberists Shop and at select independent retail stores (go to Think Indie to find out where).
The band is presently recording its next full-length album with Tucker Martine, who produced 'Always The Bridesmaid: A Singles Series' and co-produced The Decemberists' fourth full-length album, 2006's acclaimed 'The Crane Wife'.
