Last month, we reported that The Shins had signed a deal with Columbia Records to release their follow-up to 2007's Wincing the Night Away. Along with that announcement, James Mercer and company revealed some tour dates that have now been expanded to include a last-minute gig in New York City. They'll be playing at the Bowery Ballroom next Sunday, Sept. 25. You can buy tickets here. The lineup consists of Yuuki Matthews (bass), Jessica Dobson (guitar), Richard Swift (keyboards) and Joe Plummer (drums), and they're apparently playing material from the band's in-the-works fourth album.
