Fresh off the release of their latest studio effort, The Mountain, the Heartless Bastards have added even more to their already mammoth U.S. tour that is now as impressive an endeavor as anything that went down in Peak. As a result, the Bastards’ 31-date trek, which kicked off last week, will now see Erika Wennerstrom and Co. on the road for nearly four months, highlighted by stops at Letterman and South by Southwest. Most of the dates will be in support form, where the Cincinnati based trio will hang with the likes of The Black Keys, The Gaslight Anthem, and Andrew Bird. However, as Paste Magazine so cleverly points out, the exhausting trek won’t include one stop in Ohio.
