Once the haikus are scribbled, the vocal submissions tallied, and their North American tour complete, Jamie Stewart and the rest of the wild spirits possessing Xiu Xiu are headed to Europe on a three-and-a-half week tour.

The band kicks things off on May Day in Austria and winds up in Spain on the 24th, leaving puzzled looks and copies of Women As Lovers aplenty in their wake. Bon voyage, Xiu Xiu!
