The Meat Puppets have announced a second round of tour dates in support of their just-released 12th studio album, Sewn Together — this time co-headlining with Athens, Ga., rockers Dead Confederate.
The 10-date trek — which follows the band’s May/June tour — opens Sept. 16 and is confined to the western U.S., with shows scheduled in Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah and Colorado.
The band — founding members Cris and Curt Kirkwood, plus drummer Ted Marcus — released Sewn Together, its first new album in two years, in May. The record has received a good helping of comeback buzz, with the band earning spotlights on ABC News’ “Amplified” series (Part 1, Part 2) and on NPR in recent weeks.
