Why, it seems like only yesterday (or, er, three days ago) that Menomena's Danny Seim was basking in the end of the "longest tour" the Portlandic powerhouse trio had ever tackled. So imagine our surprise when we found that Menomena have plotted another big ol' tour in the neighborhood of October and November. Some people got it, and some people don't, and when it comes to turning a crowd positively loopy (and being forebodingly tall), Menomena have it.

They'll link up with the misleadingly-monikered Illinois come Halloween, and they don't stop until November 17. Hopefully, then they can get some rest.
