Boise (Feb. 5)
From Shawn:
While
searching the web for Morrissey shows, I came across some
tour dates on the Bravo website. I guess Bravo is the
"Ticketmaster" of Idaho/E. Washington.
It says Morrissey will be in Boise at the Idaho Center
Theater on Feb 5 and tickets go on sale Jan 14 @ 2:00 pm
at all Select-a-Seat outlets or phone 208-442-3232 or
425-1766. Boise tickets are 25.00 and all seats are
RESERVED!
It also says Morrissey will be in Spokane at the Met
Theater on Feb 1 and tickets go on sale Jan 8 @ 9:00 am
at all G&B Select-a-Seat outlets or phone 509-325-seat
or 800-325-seat (I don't know what G&B is). Spokane
tickets are 30.00 and gen admission.

Tour mention on Billboard.com
First with the link to the
Billboard Online daily music news item is Marie in LA.
(nothing really new -- seems the writer copied a lot of the
info from the tour page that was just updated yesterday):
Morrissey
Planning U.S. Tour
Former Smiths frontman Morrissey will set off on just his
third string of U.S. tour dates since 1997. The enigmatic
vocalist, who is currently without a record label in the
U.S. and his native U.K., will kick off the jaunt Feb. 1 in
Spokane, Wash.
Although only seven dates have been announced, sources say
concerts are in the works for Atlanta, Toronto, the New York
area, and several cities in Texas. Tickets for the first
round of shows in Spokane, Wash.; Portland, Ore.; Seattle;
St. Paul, Minn.; Madison, Wis.; and Chicago go on sale
Saturday.
Tickets for a Valentine's Day concert at the historic Civic
Theatre in downtown Akron, Ohio, go on sale Jan. 14.
Morrissey's solo career fell on hard times in the latter
years of the past decade, after numerous sour deals with
major labels. His 1997 "Maladjusted" album
(Mercury) peaked at No. 61 on The Billboard 200, and sold
82,000 copies in the U.S., according to SoundScan.
The 1992 album "Your Arsenal" remains Morrissey's
top-selling solo disc of the '90s, having moved 350,000
copies in the U.S.
Still, the 40-year-old artist maintains a rabid fanbase in
the U.S. and abroad, and his performance at the Coachella
Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. this October was
reportedly the highlight of the event.
Over the course of 13 U.S. shows this fall and early winter,
Morrissey unearthed rare solo tracks such as
"Hairdresser On Fire" and "Tomorrow,"
while tackling long-standing Smiths favorites such as
"Meat Is Murder" and "Last Night I Dreamt
That Somebody Loved Me."
Dates and locations for shows announced thus far are as
follows: Feb. 1: Spokane, Wash.
Feb. 2: Portland, Ore.
Feb. 3: Seattle
Feb. 8: St. Paul, Minn.
Feb. 9: Madison, Wis.
Feb. 10: Chicago
Feb. 14: Akron, Ohio
-- Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
