It's quite an accomplishment to put out an excellent debut album. Belle And Sebastian did just that nearly 30 years ago with their first LP Tigermilk, which they miraculously followed up just five months later with the equally excellent -- if not better? -- If You're Feeling Sinister. Next year the Scottish indie pop legends are taking both of those albums on the road to commemorate the milestone anniversary.
Belle And Sebastian are making stops across the UK/EU and North America, starting in February and going through June. The band will be playing two nights in each city they visit: The first night they'll play Tigermilk in full, and the second night they'll run through Sinister. (Except for Miami, which only gets a Sinister show for some reason. Sorry, Miami.) After playing the respective album of the night, Belle And Sebastian will then perform a few fan-favorites from their other records.
