Man, after this long on the road, Okkervil River's gonna need a few Stand Ins of their own. The ardent Austin band, soon to release a sorta-sequel to last year's fine The Stage Names LP, have thrown a bunch of dates onto the back end of their tour itinerary, which now sees them on the road at least a little (and mostly a lot) every month from this one through November. A set at Lollapalooza next weekend in Chicago gets things started.

The Stand Ins is due from Jagjaguwar September 9 in North America, October 13 in the U.K., September 1 in France, September 12 in Germany, September 17 in Japan, and September 8 throughout the rest of Europe. Got all that?
