Ashes of American Flags, the new Wilco concert film directed by Christoph Green and Fugazi’s Brendan Canty, makes its New York debut tonight in a special screening at the IFC Center as part of Movie Night with Fred Armisen. Following the screening, Armisen, a cast member of Saturday Night Live and longtime supporter of the band, will be discussing the movie with its directors. Watch the film's trailer at nonesuch.com/media.

Wilco kicks off an extensive US tour tomorrow night in the first of two sold-out shows at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Although both shows are sold out, Wednesday's set will be broadcast live at the Roadcase section of the band's site, wilcoworld.net. Milwaukee fans get some extra Wilco time tonight, as the band throws out the first ball at tonight's Milwaukee Brewers game in Miller Park. Should make for an interesting game, after the band's hometown Cubs beat the Brewers 8-5 last night. For tonight's game, Milwaukee hosts the Cincinnati Reds.
