This just showed up on Pollstar:

Sat 11/13/10, Pittsburgh, PA, Thunderbird Cafe

Come ooooooon Detroit area!

Edit: oh, East coast. I guess I should check the main page now and then.

Play Buffalo or Rochester! I'm relocating up there for college soon, and I'd love to see me some Shearwater!

Fortunately, "east coast" extends pretty far west. Just announced: Nov. 16 Shearwater w/Damien Jurado at Lincoln Hall (Chicago).

Since November belongs to the east, I'm going to desperately hope that they hold off on the west until after Christmas. November/December is a flaming bitch of a time to ask for time off during the holidays, especially in retail.

Still! Definitely looking forward to a new go-round. Can't wait to see them again.

This email just made my day:

Howdy-

Shearwater returns to The EARL Friday, November 5 with special guest: Damien Jurado

I'm assuming the full schedule will be listed soon.

Thanks! Don't know why I never check matablog.

Also, may I just say the when "soon" = "yesterday", my world is officially rocked

#with Horse Feathers, Damien Jurado & Anais Mitchell

You guys are truly lucky, I got to review the new Damien Jurado record and it is really great.

When I saw the first date announced I was a little concerned Shearwater would be opening - I have no idea how popular most indie bands are relative to each other. I'll grab tickets when they're on sale Friday, as much as using Ticketmaster offends my delicate sensibilities (and my wallet).

Now that the dates have been confirmed, I've gotten a ticket for the Pittsburgh show. It's good timing too, I'm getting back from hiking the Georgia section of the Appalachian Trail a few days earlier.

Hey, does anyone know if Thor will be at any/all of these dates? I'll be in Norman OK...

The Swans tour is on a break through November, so I'd assume yes.

Thor will be on all these dates, yes!
