Shows, playing them


to get warmed up for what will surely be an onslaught of live appearances after the release of the new Be Still Please album we're happy to report a few pre-release live dates, and even happier to report that we're opening for the incomparable M.Ward on these shows. Portastatic will be a duo for these, with myself and Margaret White making all the noise:

Sept 18 Charlottesville VA, Satellite Ballroom
w/ M.Ward
Sept 19 Carrboro NC, Cat's Cradle
w/ M. Ward & Lambchop (!! "strong triple bill" as JJ Jackson use to say)
Sept 20 Nashville TN, The Belcourt Theatre
w/ M. Ward
Sept 22 Denton TX, Hailey's
w/ M. Ward
Sept 23 Austin TX, The Parish Room
w/ M. Ward


this trip includes one town i've never personally seen, Denton, TX, and a couple of my favorite venues to play (the Cradle, and The Parish Room). The Belcourt sounds too classy for our types, and i have no idea what Charlottesville will be like if it doesn't involve sushi.

see you there!

I think you'll really like Denton. It's a nice little college town about 50 minutes north of Dallas.

Caught you last time you came through Nashville with Superchunk and enjoyed it a lot. The Belcourt is a great old theater---great place to see a band. Fripp recently did one of his Soundscapes shows there, which may say something of the acoustics. Looking forward to seeing you guys. You should try to walk around the corner to Boscos after the show. Very good microbrew.
