Andrew Bird sets out on a brief jaunt of Southern European churches next month before playing a few more Stateside in Boston, D.C. and Chicago in December. Churches, you say? It’s the second installment of his Gezelligheid shows, borrowed from the snuggly Dutch.
Fat Possum will also release Bird’s instrumental album, Useless Creatures, on October 25. The album formerly accompanied his recent full-length, Noble Beast, as bonus material.
Earlier this year Mr. Bird made a heroic appearance alongside UI’s own Margaret Cho in her video for “I’m Sorry.” More on how the love/hate/comedy album came about below.
