Fischerspooner Tour the Western U.S.

Wire still crushed that "The 15th" was basically just an Erasure track all along

With The Polyphonic Spree and Broken Social Scene on tour this fall, the stage floorboards of the nation's medium sized venues are taking quite a beating-- given the aforementioned acts' double-digit roster of bandmembers. And now along comes the Fischerspooner show to add more mess and stress. The glam/glitter electroclash duo is packing up its troupe of twenty-some fashionistas along with a stage show boasting confetti, glitter, chocolate sauce and other presumed theatrics for a three-week tour. To be precise, it's called the "Riot of Glitter and Feathers Tour 2003".

Fans living in or near the cities listed below might consider themselves lucky given the fact that, due to their high-cost stage production, they've rarely ventured outside the New York City limits. However, House of Blues Concerts is sponsoring the "happenings," and thusly improves their profit margin by strategically booking the shows in their own venues. Also, we should mention that Kenna, the '80s-neo-soulman-produced-by-the-Neptunes of the moment finds himself in the warmup role for all dates:

09-15 San Francisco, CA - Fillmore
09-16 San Francisco, CA - Fillmore
09-17 San Diego, CA - 4th & B Theater
09-19 Las Vegas, NV - House of Blues
09-20 Anaheim, CA - House of Blues
09-21 West Hollywood, CA - House of Blues
09-22 Tempe, AZ - Marquee Theatre
09-24 Boulder, CO - Boulder Theater
09-26 Dallas, TX - Gypsy Tea Room
09-27 Austin, TX - Stubb's
09-28 Houston, TX - Engine Room
10-01 New Orleans, LA - House of Blues
10-02 Atlanta, GA - Earthlink Live
10-04 Detroit, MI - Majestic Theatre
10-05 Chicago, IL - House of Blues

Also, this fall, when not cavorting about onstage, the dynamic duo of Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner are reportedly in the studio, recording the follow-up to this year's (or last year's, depending on which country you live in) debut, #1. The new record is expected to drop sometime in early 2004.
