Bill Orcutt plans fall tour ahead of joint album with Jacob Felix Heule

Dude. For real — compared to a full-on obnoxious-ass “rock & roll band” with its plugged-into-nothing keyboards and dumb drums and way-too-big-for-the-damn-venue amplifiers and coolers full of drug-diapers and all that shit, can you imagine how freakin’ EASY it must be to tour when all you gotta do is grab your seven-pound guitar, a few guitar picks, a case of Red Bull/condoms; and just hop in your ol’ blue Datsun and peel down the street with “I Get Around” blasting out your speakers?

Well, guitar manipulator-extraordinaire Bill Orcutt certainly can’t! So shut up and don’t disturb his ignorant bliss! The poor virtuoso-badass is all EXCITED to announce that he’ll be hitting the arduous road for a bunch of US and European dates this fall in support of soon-to-be-released new album Colonial Donuts, a collaborative release with drummer Jacob Felix Heule dropping October 16 via the Palilalia label.

The album, in case you haven’t been paying attention, features “13 compact, stylistically diverse duets for electric guitar and drums” that are each “named after a chain of Oakland coffee shops.” It’s so cute that he went and got all ambitious on us with an official tour announcement, so let’s not burst his bubble, okay? Besides, I mean, it could still be pretty arduous? Like, the continental breakfasts might be kinda bad? And the weather might totally suck some days.
