Will Sheff and company have some news to pass along. The boys have signed to Virgin/EMI For Europe and are plotting a Euro tour. See the dates below. Here is the PR release in official terms.

OKKERVIL RIVER and JAGJAGUWAR are proud to announce the re-release of
“Black Sheep Boy” and “Black Sheep Boy Appendix” in Europe with new
label partner Virgin Records, who plan on re-releasing the entire
Black Sheep Boy saga as a double-disc on April 28 throughout all of
the UK and Europe (except for Italy, which was omitted from the
licensing deal). The two-disc set will also feature the song “The
Next Four Months” from the “For Real” cd single as well as videos for
the songs “For Real” and “It Ends With A Fall”. To celebrate this
