Scottish post-rock force Mogwai announced their tour dates.  U.S. & Canadian dates are below.  If you are going, be forewarned, they are LOUD.

And I don’t mean it in the casual sense.  I go to a lot of shows.  I go to a lot of loud shows.  Mogwai is the loudest I have ever seen – and not necessary in my opinion (they’re not a metal band).  Prepare yourself to be raped in the eardrum.

I plan on hitting Portland.  I need new earplugs, maybe rated for cannon blasts and machine gun.
