Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, aka one Owen Ashworth, will tour both with Xiu Xiu and Shearwater on previously reported dates and all by his painful lonesome on dates that bookend those. The tour starts communally enough, with a show in Chicago with BARR on March 17. There'll be no merry-making this St. Patrick's Day!

Even more U.S. dates are in the works, and Ashworth is also planning an early May tour of eastern Canada with P:ano's Nick Krgovich. Look out for, like, 322 limited seven-inch releases from Owen this year.
