Nick Lowe has announced fall tour dates in support of Indoor Safari, his first proper studio album in 11 years. He’ll be backed by Los Straitjackets, who are his band on the album as well, and stops include NYC, Philly, Boston, DC, Toronto, Chicago, Minneapolis and more. Most cities get two nights and all dates are listed below.
The tour starts with two NYC shows at Bowery Ballroom on October 10 & 11, and tickets for all fall shows go on sale Friday, July 19 at 10 AM local time.
Meanwhile, Nick has shared a new track from Indoor Safari, “Different Kind of Blue” which he wrote for 2001’s The Convincer, but it never made it past the demo stage. “I had recorded this one as a demo back during The Convincer sessions and Neil Brockbank sent it off as a b-side to the label to be included as a bonus track on an exclusive version of the album,” says Lowe. “I had forgotten about this song for the most part until recently fans have rediscovered the track and brought it back to my attention. I listened to the original demo, wrote new lyrics and added a full band arrangement to it and think it turned out pretty good.” Listen to that below.
Indoor Safari is out September 13 via Yep Roc.
