We’re playing Le Guess Who? festival in Utrecht on November 24th. All tour dates have been updated with ticket links. More dates coming soon!

On August 23rd, the day Mirror Traffic comes out, we’re returning to the scene of the crime, blocks away from where it was recorded, to do a free all ages in-store at the Hollywood Amoeba. We’ll play some songs, sign some stuff, and most importantly, shop at one of my favorite stores. I saw OFF! there the last time I was in L.A. and it made my night. Our last in-store at the S.F. Amoeba is still in the archives on their site if you want to check it out: http://goo.gl/Ucms8.

This,  along with other bits of promo news, was posted on our new Twitter account @MalkmusAndJicks, which we’ll try to keep at least semi-regularly updated.

Just posted some tour dates for Europe. More to come!

U2 played chicago the other night. THis tour is the biggest grossing tour ever. Amazing. They are tiny ants on stage. ITs been said that these  big shows just don’t work no matter how much money you throw at production.  i agree.

Israel has nukes. And no one ever mentions it. I remember a while ago when i was traveling and for some reason the “relationship” between Aparthied South Africa and Israel came up.  Apparently the relation ship included sharing yellowcake!!!

speaking of SKeevy

this Strauss -Kahn stuff is ….yuck.

THe dude was propositioning  hotel workers all night, then has mystery lady over the night before. ,,,,,THen gets morning blowjob from housekeeper, probably forced …………… THen goes to McCormick and Schmidts  for lunch with daughter!!!  Im assuming this is an average sunday for the guy.  TO each his own?

Matador’s running a contest to see who can come up with the best replacement for “b___  j__” in the chorus to Senator. Will the winner have his/her lyrics recorded by Stephen and pressed onto a one of a kind 7″ record? Yes! Will they receive songwriting royalties? No! (read the lengthy submission agreement and contest rules). We want this song to be a massive radio hit, so get cracking.

We’re having lots of fun practicing for the upcoming tour; re-learning all the songs off Mirror Traffic with Jake, plus dusting off a few deep-ish tracks from the first 4 records. Also, over the course of the last year plus, Stephen’s written a whole new album’s worth of tunes, so we’ll probably play a few different new ones every night. And we’re learning some surprise covers too, so it should make for a fun show.

We’re gearing up on the promo front too, doing some interviews and photo shoots (even snuck into the Mayor’s office for one), and lining up some release week events, which we’ll announce as soon as they get confirmed, so stay tuned…
