"To celebrate the 15 year anniversary of our debut album, we’ll be touring Spain + Portugal in February/March 2025. Yeah, we know it’ll actually be 16 years by then, but… The Pains of Being Bad at Math.Peggy, Kurt, Christoph, and I will be back on stage together for the first time since 2012."
He added:
"Alex is attending to (very good) personal things and can’t be with us this time, so Eddy Marshall, who plays with me in The Natvral, will join us on bass for the tour. We’ll be performing our self-titled album in its entirety— and a few other songs from that era too."
