Teenage Fanclub announce 2019 North American tour
Teenage Fanclub, which sadly no longer includes founding member Gerard Love, have just announced a 2019 North American tour. Dates begin February 21 in Vancouver and wrap up March 18 in Saxapahaw, NC which is part of Merge Records’ 30th anniversary. There will be two NYC shows: March 13 at Bowery Ballroom and March 14 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets for MHOW and Bowery go on sale Friday, September 21 at 10 AM and noon, respectively, with a Citi cardmember presale happening now for the Bowery show.
As for what’s ahead for Teenage Fanclub without Gerard, Norman Blake says, “The three of us have spread the burden of songwriting over the years, so there will be a bit more work involved creatively. We don’t feel pressure to get somebody in as a songwriter to replace Gerry. Whatever happens, I know that we’ll create something that we’ll be happy to put our name behind.”
Teenage Fanclub’s final shows with Love will be special “Songs From the Creation Years” nights in Glasgow, Manchester and London in celebration of the recent vinyl reissues of TFC’s classic Creation Records albums. All North American dates are listed below.
