| | | I'm more than a little dissapointed that the only southern tour dates are Bonneroo in Tennesee and a stop in Kentucky. What about Atlanta? This is really upsetting me. |

| | | Bloody Americans. Get all the good shows. Which I realise makes perfect sense and all, but still...
I have to admit the reference to The Goodies is a little worrying. Michael Jackson has Benny Hill, does Jack White have The Goodies??

I'll never forget that I missed my opportunity to be the "I saw them first!" guy. My mate was ginge. I don't think they've toured here properly since.

| | | Do you have a link to where you got this from? These tour dates seem oddly similar to the 2005 tour dates and, aside from several festivals, I didn't see any real tour announcements on their site. Plus there is absolutely zero talk about it over at the Little Room forums which makes me wonder... |

this is the 2005 tour.. check the past set-lists and all the dates match up. I seen them in Cincinnati, OH and Louisville, KY last time.... both shows were great, but the Cincinnati show was perfect they played every song I wanted to hear... including "In the Cold Cold Night"
I wish there were more good bands at Bonneroo I would love to see them again.. but the only other person there I was love to see is David Cross. I just cant bring myself to pay $200.00 for tickets to see 2 acts. |

I will have to go to at least three of these WS shows.

| | | all i can say is i hope they change the name of the tour and album for that sounds majorly icky and gross and ranks up there with bizits hot dog water flavor for like worst album title ever.
hopefully the music will still be amazing so one can kind of overlook album title.i know some may say whats in a name true but also not true sometimes the name sets the mood or gives an idea a reflection this title sounds like some frat kid just came up with it in a half baked moment its so un white stripeish its so coming from nowhere nothing could have predicted theyd come up with something so horrendously hideous.granted none of their album titles were oh my god brilliant mind you white blood cells but other then that they could have been better but this one is shameful oh so shameful. |

| | | Those are definitely not new tour dates, the Greek Theatre doesn't have them booked for August 16th, 17th, or 18th. Those dates are for the GBMS tour not Icky Thump. |
