‘We’d play for a frozen burrito’: post-rockers Tortoise on the changing face of Chicago, Steve Albini and their new-gen fans
Informed by everything from jungle to Krautrock and musique concrète, Tortoise broke new ground 30 years ago. Returning after nine years away, ‘it’s a different world’, they say

I totally love this! Absolutely delighted for you.
Saw the Tortoise matinee show on Saturday and it was almost as good as your duck egg curry recipe. Almost 😋

Ahaha, thanks Sean! ❤️
My brother-in-law and his wife went to the matinee - shame you didn’t get the support, but cool that the set was different.
I think some people definitely went to both shows because when we turned up at 6, the place was packed with people just waiting around.

Happiest thing though:
I got to give a copy of #MandalayBook to @johnherndon.bsky.social 🥰
We’ve been online pals for over a decade now, but I wrote Mandalay after the last time I saw Tortoise - and I acknowledged them in the book!
I drew him a little tortoise of course 🐢

The kind of show worth waiting (nearly) a decade for.
Tortoise at the Barbican, playing tracks from their stunning new album Touch, as well as beloved songs from their back catalogue.
Tortoise are the best live band I have *ever* seen and I have been to a *lot* of gigs.

During my tween/early-teen magic phase, I went to see a Penn and Teller show and chatted with them after. I asked their advice about being a magician.
Teller gave me a long, thoughtful answer about study and perseverance.
Penn said if I was interested in girls, quit magic and learn guitar.

I saw tortoise in a tent in Belgium having never heard of them and spaced out*. It was incredible.
* I don't think I was passively smoking weed, although it was a music festival near the Netherlands so I cannot guarantee it 🤣
