I’m leaving next week to maraud around with the Infernal Noise Brigade on their current European tour, because I’m writing something big about them. I’m a new fan. I’m looking to interview a couple longtime fans before next Tuesday. Email me: frizzelle@thestranger.com.

In the meantime, here’s a map that shows all the cities I’m joining them in: Amsterdam, Brussels, Hamburg, and Berlin. I’ve been staring at this map all morning. I like the texture of the mountains.
