Just when you thought there couldnt possibly be any more Jay Reatard news, there is. Once again, the Memphis garage rockin punk and his Boston Chinks have announced a ton of new tour dates, many of which find them kicking out the jams and likely a bit of controversy on Canadian soil.
Along with Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City and Halifax, Jay Reatard will be making a surprise return to Toronto. The show will mark the first time Reatard and company will play the Big Smoke since their infamous Silver Dollar walk-out earlier this year. And considering the band left to a barrage of boos and chants of "pussies! and "we want our money back, its pretty damn brave of the guys to return.
On October 7, Jay Reatard will be releasing Matador Singles '08, which the group will likely have for sale at the merch booth. Well, unless a riot tears the sucker apart. Here are the tour dates:
