Built To Spill, one of the most endearing and enduring bands of a generation, has announced its first live shows of 2013 - a run that hits the Pacific Northwest (including two shows at Portland's Doug Fir Lounge), British Columbia, and two hometown shows in Boise, Idaho in February.
Vocalist/guitarist Doug Martsch, and guitarists Brett Netson and Jim Roth, will be joined on the road by new band members Steve Gere (drums) and Jason Albertini (bass) who replace departing drummer Scott Plouf and bassist Brett Nelson.The shift in line up is completely amicable. Scott and Brett remain dear friends and remaining members have stated that they wish them well on their future ventures.
