Why? To Play New Material On Fall Tour

4:36 p.m. · July 14, 2011 · by Andrew Martin

Until today, we hadn't heard much about Why? aside from the fact that frontman Yoni Wolf had a string of solo dates earlier this year that included sketches of new material. Oh, and they played a Daytrotter session this past May, too. Other than that, it's been slim pickin's for Why? fans. But they now have a reason to rejoice because the trio just announced a lengthy tour for September and October. The entire jaunt will take place in theater-style venues for sit-down gigs during which Why? will play tunes from their catalog and preview some new tracks. They'll also be answering questions from the audience. Like-minded alt-rapper Serengeti will open.
