ripthisjoint908 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 You guys know the patterns of the band better than I do, as most of you have been fans longer than I, so I ask: When do you think they will release new NA tour dates? I really want to take my girlfriend to her first Wilco show (she's as big of a fan as me...what a keeper..) and I know we have the new record to look forward to...plus Solid Sound has yet to happen. So when will they give us some dates? Before SS? In between SS and the new record? After the new record? What do ya think? I know traditionally a band will tour to support a new album, but Wilco is a band who has more or less made a living off touring relentlessly so I'm just curious.

The Inside of Outside Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Here is what we know: From Wilco's Facebook page, 12/31/12:Thank you all for a fantastic 2012. We've got a lot to look forward to in 2013 -- including a new record, another Solid Sound Festival, and bunch more gigs and other surprises. Happy New Year to all from the band and the HQ crew. Cheers! and.... Earlier in 2012, they announced that 2013 was going to be devoted to fewer tour dates (excepting SS and Australia/Japan, which had been scheduled) as they focus on making the new record. So...now moving away from facts...I would not expect much in the way of touring before the fall. Maybe a NA leg and a European leg in the fall, of the 3-week variety, that they seem to favor now? Maybe the new record in the fall, or maybe more likely, winter, with touring to follow? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I certainly think we'll have some tour dates around the Autumn/Winter...and, of course, since I'm willing to travel within that max. 6-7 hours, and anything 4-5 hours for sure, I'm pretty sure to be able to make a few of these.Can't wait for that new album!!!

ripthisjoint908 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hmm. I see. Thanks for the info. I'm just really hoping we can get a Michigan date. They skipped the mitten last time around Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hmm. I see. Thanks for the info. I'm just really hoping we can get a Michigan date. They skipped the mitten last time around I saw them in Detroit in Dec. 2011, so they hit Michigan last tour at least at some point (on "The Whole Love" touring)- though I don't know if they did Mich. in 2012...(quicker doable drive when I go through Canada)...it's one of the shows I'd do again this year if possible...

If they don't again this year I may have to make the trip to Toronto or Cleveland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they don't again this year I may have to make the trip to Toronto or Cleveland.I'm south of Rochester, so after that city & Buffalo or Syracuse...Toronto is the next closest, followed by Cleveland & Pittsburgh...then NYC, Philly, Detroit, etc. ...so I probably be hitting Toronto & Cleveland too, if they make it those stops next tour...

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'm hoping beyond hope for a surprise release around May. If Bob Dylan and David Bowie can produce a record that nobody but the participants knew about, then Mr. Tweedy and company can do it also. They don't have papparazzi and biographers following their every move. I'm just hoping Jeff can keep interested and excited and keep this band rolling along. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 In the Uncut magazine piece, it says late 2013 for the new album's release. That would seem more likely. But I'll bet we'll hear a few new songs at Solid Sound! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Do people think they are recording now? Whatever is going on in the Loft doesn't involve Mikael, who continues to post photos daily from his new home in CA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheSunCaughtFire Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 The Autumn Defense have been posting photos on FB of them recording in Chicago throughout January-February. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever is going on in the Loft doesn't involve Mikael, who continues to post photos daily from his new home in CA. Yeah, I've wondered about Mikael too. He's moved from Brooklyn to CA and is planning to open up his own music studio, I gather. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Nels had a show in Brooklyn last week and another this week, and John has been tweeting pictures from India, so it doesn't seem likely they're in the studio now. Nels doesn't have another show scheduled until March 15, so maybe they'll squeeze in a few weeks of recording later this month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Album recording years are usually quiet on the touring front. Low of course is done at the Loft, but I wonder if Mavis is still doing work there. Jeff's keeping the place busy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Between their current commitments and the start of the Australia and Asia tour in late March, it doesn't look like they're going to have much time to get together in the loft till late April. Think of how fresh and exciting those Australia shows are going to sound, though! Maybe they'll live stream one--one of the Sydney show, maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
