(EMI) The Decemberists have announced Fall dates for their A Short Fazed Hovel 2009 tour. The tour, which features a full performance of their acclaimed new album The Hazards of Love, has been earning rave reviews as it crosses the United States from coast to coast, including sold-out performances at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, the Edgefield Winery in their hometown of Portland, Oregon, and stand-out performances at major summer festivals including Sasquatch and Bonnaroo. The band will also be performing this year at the Newport Folk Festival, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Music Festival and Treasure Island Music Festival.
NPR Music will be live webcasting and broadcasting The Decemberists performance at the Newport Folk Festival on August 1, which will not be The Hazards of Love, but instead a special set for the festival. The bands performance and interview on World Cafe aired on July 24, and is now featured on the NPR Music website.
