Tom Waits Announces Tour During 'Fake Press Conference'

May 6, 2008
Tom Waits Announces Tour During 'Fake Press Conference'Tom Waits has announced details of a thirteen date US tour, which will begin in Phoenix on June 17th.

Details about what Waits dubbed the Pehdtsckjmba tour, were unveiled during a fake press conference on the singer’s website last weekend.

During the press conference, Waits revealed that Pehdtsckjmba stands for "People Envy Happiness, Dogs Though, Sense Courage Knowing Jubilation Means Better Assets."

In reality, however, the acronym represents the first letter from each city on the tour.

Although Waits appears to be holding a genuine press conference in the video, it was later revealed that he was answering pre-recorded questions posed by a tape recorder.

The tour also includes shows in Columbus (June 28th) and Atlanta (July 5th).
