Hey Jeff,
Here in St Louis on Tuesday they mentioned that Alice has a new album
being released that day, but they haven't heard if they would be playing
anything from it at all. They ended up playing Dwight Fry.
That was pretty rare, usually you only hear Alice when he's about to
come to town (still 2 weeks away), or on Halloween.
