Wilco Touring Spain And Portugal, Tweedy Solo In The Midwest

In light of the news that Wilco's spending time in the studio this winter, we were psyched to see that the band has started lining up dates for the late spring and summer. No doubt these will be the testing ground for the new material, and hopefully will give us a little insight into where the band's headed musically.

While there's nothing on tap yet for the west coast (or most of the US, for that matter), the band has lined up eight dates in Portugal and Spain. What's more, Jeff Tweedy is headed out for some solo dates at the end of this month. Both of these seem ripe for some new material to surface, but maybe we're just overly hopeful.

In the meantime you can check out this post at The Stranger Dance that has some new material from the Bridge School Benefit for you to ponder.
