Sufjan Stevens is readying his Asthmatic Kitty entourage for the upcoming “Surfjohn Stevens Christmas Sing-A-Long: Seasonal Affective Disorder Yuletide Disaster Pageant on Ice” tour. Yeah, not quite sure what to make of that either. However, with Stevens’ penchant for elaborate set design and vast numbers of backing musicians, I’m sure we can all rest assured that it will be suitably over the top. Sheila Saputo, aka label-mate Rosie Thomas, will be opening for him. Check out the dates below. Also, as I’m feeling in the very-early Christmas spirit, here is the latest song from Stevens’ newest box of Christmas songs, which we reviewed here. And yes, I know we’ve already posted this track. But don’t look a gift horse in the mouth (whatever that means). Just go listen to it (again).
