Jam stalwarts moe. are hitting the road hard this winter in support of their recently released WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LA LAs album. The tour kicked off with an album release party at NYC’s Hiro Ballroom on January 23 and continued across the country in San Francisco two days later, where moe. performed brief sets at Amoeba Records and the MacWorld trade show. For moe.’s MacWorld appearance they started their set by playing Suck A Lemon and Crab Eyes on iPads. While we’re sure an “official” video of Suck A Lemon will surface soon (as it did for the iPad Crab Eyes from moe.down), we couldn’t wait and tracked down a fan-shot clip by YouTuber RosieRoseyRosy…

The tour continued last night in Portland, Oregon, where old friend Allie Kral of Cornmeal came up to rock a total of three songs with moe. over the course of the evening. The violinist first came out at the end of the first set for Al Schnier’s country boogie Backwoods and Up On Cripple Creek by The Band. Kral returned a few hours later for the Waiting For The Punchline encore. Thanks to YouTuber IraSail we can already watch footage of Allie on Backwoods…
