Having recently wrapped up a load of dates with the hard-partyin' Hold Steady, you'd think the lads and lassie of the Thermals might require a little time to dry out. Not so; hangover or no, the can-do kinesis they exude on wax apparently carries over to their willingness to plunder forth by land or by sea.

Hutch'll hitch up with his Thermals on an Oregon-bound trail before a ton of late-May, Cribs-supporting dates in the UK, a festival bender, and a lone dog-days jaunt to the Second City that probably precludes an all-out summer tour presently heating up booking agent phone lines.
