The Shins are back on tour.

I caught them the last time they were in my neck 'o the woods, but it appears the closest they'll be this time is Ohio, but I'm hoping they'll schedule more shows and hit PA again. I'd definitely see them again.

I caught them during the Chutes Too Narrow tour and they were indeed a tasty band to see. I'm crossing my fingers for a Toronto date.

Persistent rumors have them playing Lolla this year, and all those Midwest dates with no Chicago stop would seem to confirm it. My wife saw them at Outside Lands fest in SF last year and said they sounded great.

Hmmmmm. Another good reason to return to Chicago this summer. :)
