Built to Spill announce tour dates
Built to Spill have been touring on and off since the release of 2009’s There Is No Enemy, and it doesn’t look like they’re about to stop anytime soon. The long-running indie rockers have lined up a series of North American tour dates. Plus, two new members — drummer Steve Gere and bassist Jason Albertini — are joining the band, replacing outgoing members Scott Plouf and Brett Nelson, respectively. According to the band, the departure was amicable.
