Yo La Tengo are getting down to the business of ass-beating, launching another tour in support of last year's Matador release, I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass.

The show starts tonight in Louisville and continues on across the U.S. through early February. Following their Stateside jaunt, Yo La Tengo will hit Japan, Australia, and Singapore

As previously reported, Yo La Tengo dropped an iTunes live session EP earlier this month. Read up on its lead track, "El Es Gay", here.
