Wow, next Tuesday, August 21, is going to be a redunk-a-dunk ridiculously great day for new releases. Even greater? You don't have to wait these last few days to here some of those hotcakes. We've already pointed you towards where you can listen to some of Tuesday'sall-starsin their entirety. Now we can also tell you to head here to listen to the new record from the Mekons, Natural. But who would be content to just listen the recordings of such a great band? No, we want to seem them live, right?! Well find out if you're lucky enough to have The Mekons visiting your city soon after the jump... 9/27 Milwaukee, WI - Pabst Theatre 9/28 Chicago, IL - Old Town School (2 shows) 9/30 Pittsburgh, PA - New Hazlett Theater 10/1 Vienna, VA - Jammin Java 10/2 Philadelphia, PA - World Cafe Live 10/3 New York, NY - Gramercy Theater 10/4 Falls River, MA - Narrows Center for Arts 10/9 Portland, OR - Aladdin Theater 10/10 Seattle, WA - Town Hall 10/13 Lafayette, IN - Lafayette Brewing Company
Natural isn't quite as good as Journey to the End of the Night, but shit, it's pretty impressive how solid the Mekons' albums continue to be...
