From left, the definitive Neutral Milk Hotel, Spillane, Mangum, Koster and Barnes, will rock again together!
If you are the type of person whose heart has been lifted by the voice of Jeff Mangum, then you probably already have a Google Alert for Neutral Milk Hotel. And you may very well know this already. But, this is so exciting!
The band, which in less than one minute last week sold out shows at the 40 Watt Club (located in the band’s hometown of Athens, Georgia) has announced even more tourdates with the formative lineup of Mangum, Scott Spillane, Julian Koster and Jeremy Barnes.

The announcement comes as a bit of a surprise as Mangum only started playing solo again within the past few years, after nearly a full decade of silence.
Although we kind of want to keep this information to ourselves — being the aforementioned type of person who has a Google Alert — you can buy tickets here. Still no dates in the NYC, Boston or Philly regions, but here’s hoping to reporting about that soon.
