Yo La Tengo Unveils Casual Tour

Yo La Tengo have just embarked on their self-proclaimed "Freewheeling" tour. This tour supporting last year's I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass has no definitive structure and promises to be as unstructured as possible.

On the band's website they describe the Freewheeling tour as, "A little bit 'Storytellers', a little bit 'Unplugged', with a soupcon of their famously varied Hanukkah shows, it will feature the band playing an almost-acoustic set of songs from their entire catalog, with stories about their life as a band, and an encouraged back-and-forth with the audience." Sounds great, but what does "soupcon" mean?

10/11 Chicago, IL - Lakeshore Theater (two shows)
10/12 Milwaukee, WI - Discovery World Museum
10/13 Grand Rapids, MI - Calvin College Fine Arts Center
