Califone/Iron & Wine????

[owl]

This should be interesting. I'm really looking forward to hearing this album, as well.

[Troy] Tague has been playing [drums] with Iron & Wine, the popular indie-folk band led by Sam Beam, for the past three years, but he won’t be touring in support of Iron & Wine’s latest, “The Shepherd’s Dog.” (The album, due in September, has been leaked, and it’s brilliant).

“He swapped out pretty much everyone expect for his sister,” Tague said. “He’s got a couple of guys from Califone and Calexico. He’s interested in kind of mixing things up.”

Smart move on Sam's part ... not to leave his sister behind.



Congrats to the Califone guys who are going out on tour. I'll be sure to catch some shows around these parts. I loves me some I&W. And Calexico guys. And Califone guys.

Dang - this is really exciting news! Now we just need some tour dates.
