Swedish finest jazz punk band Viagra Boys have announced tyour in North America and Europe to promote their Welfare Jazz album: "Imagine the Stooges in their Raw Power phase having a ball with The Birthday Party and De Staat, with Tom Waits smiling in the background. Monolithic dance grooves clash with a prog rock flute solo or a screaming saxophone. But when all is said done they just want to settle down in the country with a nice lady. No wonder that they end the album with a cover of the John Prine classic In Spite of Ourselves, with Amy Taylor handling the part of Iris DeMent".
