Beginning in January of 2013, Neutral Milk Hotel frontman Jeff Mangum played quite a few solo shows across the country as a part of a solo tour. This sudden and ambitious tour schedule got fans excited that he might be priming the pumps for a full Neutral Milk Hotel reunion.
Sure enough, just a few days ago, it was announced that NMH would reunite for a few dates on the East coast, and then they would fly off to Japan for a few more. This left fans a little disappointed, and left us wondering when Jeff would consider a serious tour of the US...
Well, Pollstar has done an interview with long-time NMH booking agent Jim Romeo of Ground Control Touring, who says there's a lot more to come, including an international tour in 2014.
"People should know that they shouldn't get discouraged if they don't get tickets to these few shows," he said. "There will be some more fall shows announced soon and a much longer and fuller tour planned for 2014 that will span the globe."
This marks Neutral Milk Hotel's first tour since the late 90's. Let's hope they make it to Denver [fingers crossed].
