The twangy North Carolina indie rockers Wednesday have grown into a genuine cult success over the past few years. This past summer, Stereogum picked the band’s recent LP Rat Saw God as our favorite album of the year’s first half, and it’s possible — likely, even — that nothing from the past few months has knocked Wednesday out of the top spot. Today, Wednesday dropped a fresh round of US tour dates, and they also shared the trailer for Rat Bastards Of Haw Creek, a new documentary about the band.

Don’t expect Rat Bastards Of Haw Creek to get into anything too salacious or uncomfortable. Director Zach Romeo is an old friend of Wednesday; he’s made videos for the band and for guitarist MJ Lenderman’s solo music. Romeo laconically narrates the trailer for the documentary, talking about seeing his friends growing into a cultural force. From what we can see in the trailer, the doc will feature live footage, but it’ll be more built around the everyday lives of Wednesday’s members. We see them fishing, shaving, and wondering out loud why anyone would care too much about what they’re doing.

The Rat Bastards Of Haw Creek documentary is coming out next week, and Wednesday will spend the next few months touring North America and Europe. Along with the trailer, the band has announced a new run of North American dates, with bands like Hotline TNT, They Hate Change, and Draag. Below, watch the trailer and check out those tour dates.
