Thursday’s show in Calgary will be without bassist Laura Ballance, who begged off touring due to continued hearing problems. Ballance, who co-founded the band and its label, Merge Records, with singer-guitarist Mac McCaughan in 1989, has not left the band. But Jason Narducy, who also plays with Merge labelmate Bob Mould, has stepped in for the show and a subsequent tour of the U.S. that will start after the August release of the band’s 10th album, I Hate Music.
