I know 2009 isn’t over yet, but since we’re on the way out I’ve been salivating over the plethora of shows that are already confirmed to hit Phoenix early next year. However, today’s announcement has me more excited than any other confirmed show for 2010 so far. Yeasayer confirmed earlier today that they will be stopping by by Phoenix and Tucson on a tour in April, which I can only assume is taking the band to play at this year’s edition of Coachella. The last time I saw this band play locally was in 2008 with MGMT, at the very venue they’ll be playing at this time. The band will be touring behind the release of their new album Odd Blood, which is due to be released February 9th. Thanks to leaks I’ve already gotten a chance to hear it and it’s far and away the best thing the band has ever released. I’ll post more info as it’s released.
