The perpetually hard-at-work band Built to Spill don’t like to make things easy on themselves. Between touring with Kings of Leon, plotting their own tour and releasing an album of reworkings of classic BtS numbers, it seems like the aging Idaho outfit might run out of steam at some point. Not so! Doug Martsch and co., in fact, have added more tour dates to their already busy schedule. So take that, stereotypes-of-40-plus rock stars!
The latest round of touring will see Built to Spill begin in the mid-west, including an August 28th stop at LouFest, and then make their way to the northeast starting early September. They then break for a short while before traveling roughly the same route to close out the month. After hitting Florida, Built to Spill will make their way west, ending up with a two-night stay at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco at the end of October. If you want to hear some of your favorites (“The Plan” and “Center of the Universe” are almost always played), check them out when they cruise by your town.
