Marnie Stern kicks off her first iPod-ditching tour tonight (June 21) to give In Advance of the Broken Arm the full-band (or at least live-drum) treatment it deserves.

Joining her on stage will be Hella's Zach Hill on drums and the Advantage's Robby Moncrieff on guitar.

The shredding begins in Portland and continues throughout North America and the UK until Marnie's last date (for now), which takes place at Chicago's Estrojam Festival on September 20.

In case you haven't checked out In Advance of the Broken Arm yet (what are you waiting for?!), here's a stream of the track "Absorb Those Numbers":
