Ian McCulloch is working on a brand new solo record will he'll be releasing through PledgeMusic. PledgeMusic is a direct to fan platform--the way it works is that so many people have to pledge/pre-order the record as part of the "campaign" and once they've achieved the full number needed, those who have pledged will be able to download the record starting March 5th. Right now the campaign is at 65%, so they need a few more people to pledge. If you're interested, read more about the Ian McCulloch campaign/PledgeMusic here.
Meanwhile McCulloch has announced dates for his North American tour, but with only 5 dates can this truly be referred to as a tour? Just saying.
March 20th - San Francisco - Bimbos
March 23rd & 24th - Los Angeles - Hollywood Forever Cemetery
March 27th & 28th - Chicago - Schubas
March 31st - New York - Le Poisson Rouge
