Vandervelde expands into his european future...

You know what? He's even better when you see him live.
From CMJ:
Chicago's David Vandervelde will be touring the UK, Austria, and Germany starting in late June before returning home to the US in time for that 4th of July barbeque. After releasing his debut album, The Moonstation House Band, in January, Vandervelde toured the US and European circuit with Spoon and Richard Swift. Perhaps he is going back out of excitement to play with label mates Magnolia Electric Co., or maybe he didn't get that pair of lederhosen he'd been eyeing.
