For his first U.S. tour since 2003, former Can warbler Damo Suzuki has resumed the practice of performing with various locals under the umbrella of Damo Suzuki's Network. He calls these collaborators "Sound Carriers", and those he's gathered for this tour form quite an impressive bunch.

Among the new Carriers are members of Tortoise, Oneida, Akron/Family, Excepter, Lambchop, White Magic, Soft Circle, Gang Gang Dance, Psychic Ills, Savath & Savalas, Exploding Star Orchestra, Lightbox Orchestra, and the bands of Andrew Bird, Rhys Chatham, and Cortney Tidwell.

Apparently, this "Can" band is sort of a big deal.

Suzuki's tour continues tomorrow night, October 11, in Iowa City. And after he finishes with the U.S., he'll set his sights on the rest of the world. He even has some Japanese dates scheduled for next March!
