After scrapping their remaining 2008 tour dates due to health issues with drummer Martin Bulloch, the gentlemen of Mogwai will soon look to soar again in support of last year’s The Hawk is Howling. Following stops in Greece, Australia, and Ireland, the Scottish outfit will return to North America beginning in late April for a three week endeavor that will take the band just about everywhere. Well, aside from your favorite local music festival, but let’s be honest, some things are better inside…
The Twilight Sad will be providing support on a majority of the dates. Tickets go on sale beginning Wednesday, February 25th via Ticketmaster.com.
