Lou Barlow Releases New EP, Plots North American Summer Tour

BY Stephen CarlickPublished Jun 8, 2010

Indie vet Lou Barlow released a new EP yesterday (June 7) under his Sentridoh moniker, and has unveiled two lengthy legs of North American touring in June and August.

The EP was recorded by Barlow with the Missingmen (Mike Watt's previous backing band), and is thus titled = Sentridoh III, as in "Lou Barlow + the Missingmen = Sentridoh III."

The EP is, according to the band, "an almost live representation of the Lou Barlow & the missingmen live show," complete with new songs, new versions of tracks from Barlow's solo albums, Emoh and Goodnight Unknown, a new version of Sentridoh's "Losercore," and a cover of Skip James's "I'm So Glad."

Barlow will embark on his thorough jaunts through North America with the Missingmen starting June 10 in San Diego, CA. After a couple European festival dates, he'll return to North America in Washington, from which he will launch the second leg with openers Wye Oak. Canadian fans can catch Barlow in Vancouver on June 22, Toronto on August 28, and in Montreal August 29.
