A couple of my faves are hitting the road with no Cleveland shows in sight….yet.

Fountains of Wayne are in the studio right now working on their next disc, and will break in early 2009 for some full band acoustic dates featuring tunes from the upcoming album, and old favorites. Let me get my request in right now for an acoustic version of “I-95,” which is way up there on my list of FOW favorites…and might we perhaps get an acoustic version of “Baby, One More Time” ???

I’m guessing not, but you never know.

Tell ya what, as long as I’m requesting FOW tunes, let’s throw “I Know You Well” in there as well. Guarantee me “I-95” and “I Know You Well,” and I will drive to whatever destination I need to, to see that!

Now that I look at the tour dates, that might be kind of a long drive.

It’s only rock and roll….

Here are the tour dates so far:

January 15th – Seattle, WA – Triple Door
January 16th – Portland – Wonder Ballroom
January 18th & 19th – SF – Cafe Du Nord
January 21st & 22nd – LA – Largo
January 23rd – San Juan Capistrano – Coach House
January 24th – San Diego – Anthology

Fountains of Wayne – I-95 (live)

Add “Tony Award winner” to the list of accomplishments by Duncan Sheik, that guy from the 90s that you might best recall for that “Barely Breathing” tune. Sheik’s involvement in the musical Spring Awakening earned him the Tony nod. He’ll be on the road for at least a couple of week’s worth of dates in November, beginning on November 1st in West Palm Beach.

Check out the entire batch of Duncan Sheik tour dates, and also tour dates for Tom Morello’s Nightwatchman project. But that’s not all: if you’ve been constantly craving k.d. lang tour dates, you’ll find those as well, all courtesy of Rolling Stone here.

P.S. – RS checks out the Richmond, VA date of the Beastie Boys swing state tour w/ Sheryl Crow and Jack Johnson.

Sounds like it was a good time, although a bit weird at points…but what else would you expect from a bill like that?

I’m out – keep an eye on the place while I’m gone, and we’ll talk in the morning.
