Unwound to Embark on North American Tour

Vern Rumsey is still the best name ever
Unwound have just announced that they're gearing up for a huge North American tour to celebrate the release of their highly awesome double-album, Leaves Turn Inside You. The band played their 10th Anniversary show last week at the Yo Yo, for which they reportedly dressed up as "dandys" wearing ruffly shirts, white pants, and "lots of glitter." It should be stated that, as dandys ourselves, we find this kind of mockery deeply offensive. White pants are vastly underrated.

According to a press release from Unwound's label, Kill Rock Stars, Brandt Sandeno is back playing keyboards with the band, and will join them on their forthcoming tour, along with ex-Get Hustle member Dave Stone who'll be playing second guitar. Here come the dates:
