Tortoise Cancels Bijou Show

Looks like the Tortoise show scheduled for the Bijou Theatre on Sept. 12 has been canceled. No word on the reason, though the rest of the band's late summer tour still seems to be on, so fans of the Chicago instrumental group, one of the main groups responsible for the term "post-rock," can still catch the band in Asheville on Sept. 10; normal people who quit following Tortoise in the '90s can continue with their lives. (FWIW Lee Gardner did not like Tortoise's last album, Beacons of Ancestorship.)
