KRS' Sound the Hare Heard Tour Begins

The gathering of singer-songwriters (or whatever) features big-name boys Sufjan Stevens, Colin Meloy, other KRS kids such as Wooden Wand, Nedelle, and Jeff Hanson, and crooners like Southerly, Lauren Hoffman, Lovers, and Thao Nguyen among others. And as these acoustic aficionados all seem to have touched a little piece of Kill Rock Stars' hearts, why not have a tour to go along with it? If a band can tour to support an album, a bunch of artists can tour to support a compilation, right?

The Sound the Hare Heard tour kicks off tonight in San Francisco, with Southerly along for the whole ride and Thao Nguyen for most of it as well (Lovers recently dropped off the tour). Suffice it to say, leave the Red Bull at home, kids; grab a candle, a peace sign and maybe a pillow.
