That's a great tour, nice melding of sounds but not so weird that the Mobo/sn crowd won't be into the obsessives and kdev. Wish it hit Atlanta, but I'll drive for it if I'm free
He was on Paste's facebook live today, and it was great. It's still up on Paste's fb page if anyone wants to check it out. He made a cryptic comment about his tour plans for the rest of the year: "I know some things after the Modern Baseball tour, but I'm not allowed to say them yet." Gotta be a Brand New tour, right? Maybe? Probably?
obsessives are part of the new hype for the kids, they'll be fine, haha. kevdev is the only slight outlier
Yeah just saying bc they're not well known yet that this is a great tour bill bc that crowd will definitely embrace them, and the older people who will go to see Kevin will like them too imo. Plus Kev might get some new fans out of it
Getting a new Kevin Devine track soon. "Both Ways (Acoustic)" Music For Everyone / A Compilation To Benefit The ACLU, by Collective Confusion Records, Sub City Records
Anyone going to his upcoming tour dates? I actually opened for the show in Providence. It was a great night and Kevin was on as always. I love seeing him with the band but it's always special to watch him play solo.
Friendly reminder that Every Famous Last Word (the song) is an incredible early stand out in his career, featuring writing that is a bit more impressionistic for Kevin and music that definitely alludes to his more recent output.
Title track of Bulldozer has been ingrained in my head all day today. I need to start reworking my cover of that song. It's actually harder than it sounds.
