The Decemberists updated their site with tour dates for the first leg of their upcoming tour. The tour will be in support of their new concept album Hazards of Love, which is released March 24th. Titled “Short Fazed Hovel“, the 2009 tour will consist of two sets each night. First set will be the performance of Hazards of Love in its entirety, while the second set will be a selection of the bands older material.
Tour Dates After the Jump
“The format of the tour is simple. The show will consist of two sets: one in which we Decemberists perform the record, The Hazards of Love, in its entirety (joined onstage by the immeasurable talents of M’mes Becky Stark and Shara Worden), and another where we perform a tidy selection of older material.”
