If you happen to notice a pack of Wolfs at your door sometime between tonight and June, well, take shelter at the nearest possible venue. It's Why?, the genre-defying chatterboxes set to afflict you with their Alopecia March 11 on Anticon. (It's out now in Europe on Tomlab.)

Yoni and Josiah Wolf and the rest of their set kick off their world tour tonight in San Francisco, which leads them across North America until mid-April, and then heads to Europe in May and June. Along the way, they'll meet up with a really strange and stellar crew for support, including Cryptasize, YACHT, Son Lux, Panther, and other like-minded oddballs.

Note that amidst all the other dates, Why? will field any and all queries next week at SXSW. Why, you might just see them there!
