Dressy Bessy Touring U.S. In December
Due to Kindercore budget cuts, band likely to be 20% Dressy, 80% Bessy

[Posted Thursday, November 20th, 2003 04:15:00 Pitchfork Central Time]

Presently all four members of Dressy Bessy are running through obscenely picturesque fields filled with dandelions the size of the moon and chocolate puppy dogs locked in the sweetest of canine embraces with little bunny rabbits on tricycles. Though as soon as Tammy Ealom and company deem themselves properly prepared for the overbearing and undeniably over the top adorable-ocity that is their trademark, Denver, CO's matchlessly saccharine Dressy Bessy will be taking their final Kindercore-sponsored frolic through the US.

As recently reported by the undefeated Pitchfork Tag Champs, Rod Waterman and Will Bryant, Kindercore is indeed calling it quits and closing its New York office, effective pretty much immediately. But Bessy ain't mourning, she's movin'on-- movin' and a-shakin' on through nine December dates. The compact tour, which comes fresh on the heels of Team Dress' eponymous new album (that was a terrible pun), will undoubtedly see the band pandering their new material (which sounds a lot like their old material; and all of their other material, for that matter) to unsuspecting, cross-armed audiences, while gaily celebrating the time spent with the ever-so-nurturing Kindercore. Dates:

12-04 Norman, OK - Opolis
12-05 Columbia, MO - Mojos
12-06 St. Louis, MO - Way Out Club
12-07 Lexington, KY - Mecca
12-08 Nashville, TN - The End
12-09 Bowling Green, OH - Howard's Club
12-10 Detroit, MI - Lager House
12-11 Cleveland, OH - Beachland
12-12 Champaign, IL - Cowboy Monkey
