Yo La Tengo will forego its annual Hanukkah shows this December. Traditionally, the New Jersey-bred trio performs at Hoboken’s Maxwell’s each night during the Jewish Holiday with a variety of guest openers and comedians. In public message, the trio said, “In answer to the most FA'd Q of the last few months, we have reluctantly decided not to play the eight nights of Hanukkah this year at Maxwell's.  We have concluded that our touring schedule is such we just wouldn't be able to put together a lineup as Hanukkahriffic as years past.  Was the refusal of the cast of "The Times They Are A-Changin'" to take part the last straw?  Really, is there anything to gain in assessing blame?” Yo La Tengo’s fall tour in support of I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass is scheduled to conclude December 3 in Lisbon, Portugal.
