Ian Svenonius cannot sit still. The former Nation of Ulysses frontman will embark on a globe-spanning tour with his newest project, Chain and the Gang. Svenonius’ Gang will trek across the US this February and March with The Strange Boys and a few other guests showing up along the way. The Chain Gang will then head to Europe for a host of shows and festival appearances. If you’re curious, here’s the TMT review of Chain and the Gang’s 2009 debut album, Down with Liberty… Up with Chains!
