Break for Bon Iver


So it appears that after two years of touring the guys from Bon Iver are taking a much needed rest from the road...for a little while atleast ,and who can blame them? After the debut of For Emma, For Ever Ago the band exploded on the indie scene like a can of PBR in the freezer, and with the follow up Ep Blood Bank the band continued touring relentlessly. You would hear from a friend that someone spotted JV and the crew catching some R & R on familiar grounds (the Joynt) and next thing you know they are off to Norway or Australia. What this can only mean is good things I think. After all winter is almost upon us and maybe this is JV's opportunity to come out with a full length follow up to For Emma that we all have been waiting for. It will be good to have JV and the gang back in EC, and good for EC to have JV home. Good Winter farewell...for now

Here's what they had posted on their blog as of today:

BON IVER Plays Last Show For the Foreseeable Future, Stream It Now Wrapping up a meteor is a difficult proposition. BON IVER turned the page on this chapter of the story by heading home to Wisconsin, acting as honorary chair for AIDS WALK Wisconsin, and playing one more show before taking a well-deserved break from public performance. You can stream Sunday's performance from Riverside Theatre in Milwaukee HERE.Stay warm, fellas.

Also you can hear the streaming performance from their last show of the tour on their website Boniver.org or on Pitchfork.com
