Mercury Rev Announce North American Tour

John Williams wants his orchestra back
Fresh off completing a 17-date jaunt through Europe, Mercury Rev is ready to pack up their harmoniums, mellotrons, and bowed saws and continue on through North America for 14 dates. On the tour, Jonathan Donahue and the Boyz (like Heavy D, but without the portly rhymeslinger) will attempt the challenging task of recreating the richly layered textures-- and by that, we mean "strings"-- of their latest album, All Is Dream, in a live setting. As part of the tour, the Rev will support Wilco for six dates, including what promises to be the party of the year in Missoula on November 27th. After wrapping up the tour in New York City on December 12th, the band will continue their quest for world domination with five dates in Japan. Best of luck with that, boys. Koizumi's one hard-ass strategist.
