When the ball is over and Pavement stops playing, the slippers come off and Stephen Malkmus is once again himself with The Jicks (as though that were anywhere near a plain-Jane scenario). Now, we already announced that Stephen’s going on tour this fall, but you don’t know the half of it! The latter half of The Jicks’ tour converges with the latter half of Ty Segall’s tour, who joins the cavalcade as the supporting act!
Ty Segall, probably just now revived after the cooing stupor that the cover of June’s Goodbye Bread (TMT Review) reduced him to, is heading out for a lengthy string of dates across the country. Mikal Cronin (whose name shouldn’t be new for Ty fans) joins him until October, when I imagine Ty Segall mentally switches gears from a 23-year-old garage rocker to a Malkmus-worthy foil for 90s-style lo-fi indie rock. Just don’t forget that Stephen Malkmus’s new record, Mirror Traffic, comes out in August, or else he may be jealous that you happen to know (and — gasp! — like) Ty Segall’s stuff better.
