I’m a big fan of Ted Leo. But even if I wasn’t, would I be able to hate him? Probably not. Something about the guy, from his music to his interviews to his Twitter, just radiates niceness. Apparently, if Screaming Females are to be believed, Leo’s niceness isn’t just a front; the group, who just finished a tour with Leo (TMT report), have scheduled a string of shows with him for the summer. Before that, though, Screaming Females will play about a month of shows by themselves.
If you’re itching to know more about Screaming Females’ tour (and really want to see a picture of Shredder from Ninja Turtles), then wonderful news: they’ve started a tour blog. There’s also a good few video updates on the blog, making it not just a blog, but a… vlog. Welcome to the future.
