Morrissey and Tindersticks Both Playing NYC

No, not together. But still, exciting news nonetheless. Morrissey will release Years of Refusal on February 17 and then head out on tour, bringing him to NY/NJ to play a host of shows. First he will be at the Wellmont Theater in NJ on March 16. Then he will be at the Bowery Ballroom (!!) on March 21, at Webster Hall March 25, and at Carnegie Hall on March 26. Phew! Tickets for these shows are not on sale yet, but “Fans can pre-order Years of Refusal and get the opportunity to buy tickets through Ticketmaster 24 hours before they go on sale to the general public.” Complete tour dates below.

Also coming to the US, for the first time in over five years, are Tindersticks, led by the inimitable Stuart Staples. They released a new album, The Hungry Saw, this year and will now be going on tour. They will be at Brooklyn Masonic Temple on March 6 and tickets are on sale now. See complete tour dates below.
