The thought of a tour documentary from Why? would naturally involve everything strange and slightly uncomfortable, as seen in this teaser directed by Scott Fredette and Ben Nicholson. Yoni Wolf is rocking a new hairdo these days, and is heading out on the road with Serengeti starting mid-September. At the end of the teaser, you hear a little bit of the new track “Distance,” which will be on the next Why? LP out on Anticon sometime next year.

According to PR, this Why? tour is going to be a little bit different than past tours. The full band (including brother Josiah and Doug McDiarmid) will perform “intimate” sets to seated crowds, allowing time for audience questions. The San Francisco show is on October 5 at the Great American Music Hall, and is on sale now. Full dates are after the jump.
