Jeffrey Lewis - headline show dates and lectures

My god, Jeffrey Lewis is going to have to maintain a steady supply of Beroccas while he's on the country to keep up with the gigantic schedule of shows and lectures he has in store, sometimes with 3 appearances in the one day. Check it out:

Cult anti-folk troubadour and comic book artist JEFFREY LEWIS is coming all the way from New York to support DARREN HANLON on his national tour, play a few of his own shows and present a very special series of lectures on the comic (and now feature film) Watchmen.

Since his emergence at the forefront of the anti-folk movement in the late 90's, Jeff has performed and collaborated with the likes of Kimya Dawson, the Moldy Peaches and Steve Malkmus, winning fans the world over for wry, literate and often downright hilarious songs.

Performing solo on Darren's tour and at his own shows, Jeff will bring his unique mixture of acoustic punk songs to enchant you. Look out for impromptu comic book readings and hand drawn flip pad presentations within the set along with the odd poem or two.

Praise for the Watchmen lecture series:

'[The movie] does not even compare to the experience I had at [Jeff's] lecture... Warner Bros should have given Jeff a hundred million dollars instead. Where the movie didn't add a single thing to my experience of Watchmen, the lecture blew my mind and captured my attention and imagination." [Jason Levian of Floating World Comics, Oregon]
