While we're willing to indulge Elvis Costello in just about any live context, we have to say this is good news: Costello has announced that he'll be hitting the road in May with his band The Impostors, and a return to his rock and roll roots. Given that he's been touring with a bluegrass entourage for the last year or two, this is certainly a welcome return to form. Moreover, Costello will be redeploying the "Spectacular Spinning Songbook", not seen on stage (although more recently co-opted by Yo La Tengo) in 25 years!
The tour is partially on sale already, with more tickets going on sale next week. It covers both coasts, including two nights in both SF (on sale 2/13) and NYC, and a middle-of-the-country stop in Chicago. We're not gonna tell you how to spend your money, but this isn't a half bad activity for your springtime - take our word for it.
