It seems like Saddle Creek's whole roster is pounding the pavement this fall, promoting all the good music they're making. The Faint are currently touring all over the place in support of their new album "Danse Macabre" with Out Hud and later with new Saddle Creek labelmates Now It's Overhead. Cursive will be out on the East Coast mostly supporting their new EP "Burst And Bloom" with Desaparecidos and Sorry About Dresden. Finally, new additions Son, Ambulance are heading on a short tour through the Midwest, East Coast, and South. [Their last show on 9/21 is especially important, because my band Corner Club is playing with them. If you live anywhere even remotely close to Bloomington, Illinois, email me and I'll give you directions.] So no matter where you live, you should be able to check out some of the Saddle Creek sounds - you won't come away disappointed.
