Go see Tortoise this week.

I’m going to see Tortoise next Monday in Northampton, and if you live on the East Coast of the US or Europe, you might be able to do the same fairly soon. I interviewed Dan Bitney for Venus about a year ago, and you can read the piece, if you still want to, right here.

Remember, these are busy guys, in an average of five bands each, even if you leave out McEntire who is in 25, so there aren’t a lot of Tortoise tours and you shouldn’t miss one if you can help it.
