Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Shake The Sheets 20th Anniversary Tour, June 22
It feels like only yesterday we loaded our iPod up with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists’Shake The Sheets to take on the day. Fast forward 20 years later, and the only thing that’s changed is the technology. Leo will take the 2004 record out on an anniversary tour this spring, and included in the 10 dates is a June 22 appearance at Paradise Rock Club in Boston. Washington, D.C.’s “mascara moshpit” band Ekko Astral will open the show. Here’s Leo wit the pitch: “FOLKS, 2024 is somehow the 20th anniversary of our SHAKE THE SHEETS album, and I’m happy to announce some tour dates: full band, playing Shake the Sheets in its entirety (plus more, obviously), east coast, west coast, a little bit in between, spread out over pretty much the entire year. VERY EXCITED. We’re very VERY excited to be doing the east coast with DC’s Ekko Astral, who I don’t mind telling you, is one of the greatest bands I’ve heard in YEARS. I think they’re a beautiful, heavy, punk, and dare I say, important band, and I’m honored that they’re joining us for that leg.” Tickets go on sale Friday (February 16) at 10 a.m. local time.
