Drivin’ Elsewhere: Babes In Toyland extend North American tour, but skip over Boston


The Babes In Toyland reunion tour added eight new dates to its fall run earlier today, including shows
in Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Atlanta — but there’s still no Boston date.

Oh well.

As we noted in May with the first leg was announced, the closest the reformed ’90s alt-rock trio come to New England is a September 17 date at New York’s Irving Plaza and a September 19 gig at Pop Montreal International Music Festival. We’re still holding out hope that maybe that date in between can make a nice pitstop along the way.

Because the Babes seem to be enjoying their time together after reuniting back in February.

“There’s nothing better than playing music with your friends, traveling the country and all of the experiences that come with that,” says Babes in Toyland drummer Lori Barbero in a press release. “I’m one fortunate woman.”

Maybe we can be a fortunate city. Check out the Babes full run of shows below, as well as some clips from their early reunion gigs a few months ago.
