Why? has announced a fall North American tour with such stellar supporting acts as Mount Eerie, Tussle and Tobacco of Black Moth Super Rainbow fame. The trek starts in San Francisco on August 29 and winds down in Portland on October 4. Hopefully it'll all go better than the band's spring European tour, a string of dates that included one broken hand (frontman Yoni Wolf) and two cases of the mumps (Yoni and his brother Josiah).
