Aging indie rock fans, unite! One of your most beloved acts, Built to Spill, is once again hitting the road, and will be bringing with them two new members, as well as—eventually—a new album.
New drummer Steve Gere and new bassist Jason Albertini will fill out the recent gaps in Built to Spill, who are also currently at work recording their first album since There is No Enemy dropped in 2009. Check out the full list of tour dates below (via The AV Club); fellow west-coasters, let’s get together and have a good pout about the fact that we won’t be seeing them this time out.
