After creating over 400 brilliant albums and hundreds of music videos from his own bedroom studio, lo-fi luminary R. Stevie Moore will be going on his first world tour at age 59. Aside from this being his maiden voyage, another element that makes the tour monumental is that R. Stevie will be backed by bad boy Brooklyn band Tropical Ooze. Together, they’re whittling down a solid set list from 1,000s of songs to deliver the shiniest gems. On top of that, R. Stevie will be releasing his newest album, Advanced, and the tour will be documented for an upcoming feature-length documentary about R. Stevie’s life and work entitled Phonography.


A huge influence on other DIY musicians such as Ariel Pink, R. Stevie is in demand more than ever before. Just last year, indie music blog www.sickoftheradio.com released over 200 songs in eight volumes of R. Stevie covers by such artists as Ariel Pink, Jason Falkner, and Jad Fair.
