Patrick Wolf: "My Final Concert Will Be This November"
Twenty-something best new music-maker Patrick Wolf may be reconsidering this whole pop-auteur thing. Responding to his drummer-clockin' bug-out at a recent New York show, Wolf-- in a post on a Wolf fan message board apparently from the man himself-- went on to reveal that he may be quitting live music, and indeed "public communications," for good:"I have made a decision, my final concert will be this november, a retrospective with an orchestra in London. I am not sure whether there will be anymore public communications after that, In fact I am pretty sure there will be none. Of course, this has nothing to do with my drummer.. but a creative clock is ticking and I have many many projects to be creating with my time left on this earth. I hope to share my last shows with you this year...
I have enjoyed making and performing music for you all, I have enjoyed trying to give a little hope and inspiration to the world. But I feel, especially when I read all this and I go about my days that I have failed."
Seems sudden fame's hit the poor guy hard. In arriving at his decision, Wolf had this to say: "I dont think when I was 16 and dreamt of releasing records there would ever be so much crazy speculation about the person I am and that you want me to be. I have become so tired of this behaviour, sometimes I wake up and have to do six hours of interviews before doing a show, then go straight to bed to sleep a couple of hours to fly to a new country to be cross examined in the same way.. I dont know what is left of me sometimes, some mornings i dont know how i get on the flight or even open my mouth to sing that night..."
Check out Wolf's complete post, including a detailed explanation of the drummer incident, here. Again, this could indeed be a fake-out-- we have been burned by this sort of thing before, after all-- but if it's not, howlin' cries will resound from fans of the Wolfman.
Thanks to various readers for tipping us off to this. Wolf dates-- some of his last ever?-- after the jump. [MORE...]
Interpol Reveal Release Date for Third Album?
Dark city streets, subway tunnels, and dimly lit apartments are all evoked in Interpol's music, so the snowy mountains and expanse of sky that appear on the front page of the band's website behind a cryptic message-- "07.10.07"-- seem an odd choice.Could this signify a departure for the NYC boys on their third album and Capitol debut, which presumably comes out July 10, which is indeed a Tuesday? Does that landscape signal a turn in a more Sigur Rós-ian direction? Hmm, would that be a good or a bad thing?
Thanks to several readers for the tip. Catch Interpol soon at a Canadian venue and/or a European festival near you. [MORE...]
Cornelius Kicks Off Sensuous Tour
Insert corny joke here
Oh, wait; that's Don Cornelius. This Cornelius is somethin' else; though he's pretty outtasite, too. Japanese synth-meister Cornelius-- whose amicable, long-awaited Sensuous hits U.S. shops at last tomorrow (April 24) via Everloving Records-- celebrates by kicking off a world tour tonight in Portland. Cornelius' live thing, billed as "The Sensuous Synchronized Show" and chock full of lasers and dancing apes, will wind around the States through mid-May before hopping a plane for Europe. You can bet your last money, it's gonna be a stone gas, honey! [MORE...]
GZA, Slint Join Sonic Youth for Pitchfork Fest Kickoff
In collaboration with ATP's Don't Look Back concert series, 'Liquid Swords', 'Spiderland' will be performed in full
Pitchfork is pleased to announce the complete lineup for the first night of the 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival, going down July 13-15. In collaboration with All Tomorrow's Parties' Don't Look Back, we tear open the gates of Chicago's Union Park early this year to welcome three giants-- each performing, in full, one of the albums that helped make them gigantic.
We already have Pitchfork's favorite album of the 1980s: Sonic Youth delivering 1988's Daydream Nation from start to finish. Now a pair of 1990s milestones have been added, too:
Wu-Tang master lyricist GZA, aka the Genius, will perform his 1995 Shaolin showstopper Liquid Swords-- widely regarded, along with 36 Chambers, as the finest album to emerge from the Wu-Tang's heyday, and one of the greatest rap albums of all time. This also marks the first time ATP/Don't Look Back has presented a hip-hop artist.
And then there's Louisville sluggers Slint, who'll creep through their magnum opus, 1991's Spiderland,
the landmark Touch and Go LP that helped chart the course of post-rock.
We hope they also attempt to recreate the album's cover in Union Park's
swimming pool.
All this, of course, is only the beginning. The Pitchfork Music Festival continues July 14 and 15, including recent additions Deerhunter, Menomena, Klaxons, Fujiya & Miyagi, Oxford Collapse, Beach House, Dan Deacon, and Craig Taborn's Junk Magic, alongside Cat Power, the New Pornographers, Clipse, Stephen Malkmus, De La Soul, Iron and Wine, Of Montreal, Girl
Talk, Jamie Lidell, Grizzly Bear, Battles, the Ponys, Professor Murder, and Ken Vandermark's
Powerhouse Sound.
And we ain't done yet. Here's where the lineup stands thus far:
Friday, July 13:
Sonic Youth perform Daydream Nation
GZA/Genius performs Liquid Swords
Slint perform Spiderland
Saturday, July 14:
Cat Power and Dirty Delta Blues (w/members of Dirty Three, the Delta 72 & JSBX)
Clipse
Iron and Wine
Girl Talk
Grizzly Bear
Battles
Fujiya & Miyagi
Oxford Collapse
Dan Deacon
Beach House
Professor Murder
Ken Vandermark's Powerhouse Sound
Sunday, July 15:
New Pornographers
Stephen Malkmus

Craig Taborn's Junk Magic
Tickets are on sale now at Ticketweb. Three-day passes cost $50, Friday night costs $15, Saturday and Sunday individual passes cost $25, and a Saturday/Sunday pass costs $35.

Konono have quite a few of their own U.S. tour dates as well, however numerous upcoming shows in Canada and Europe have been canceled due to visa issues at the consulate in the Congo. This includes their previously reported date in Montreal (May 2), which conflicts with the Björk show in New York City that night anyhow. Konono's May 5 headlining show at New York's Bowery Ballroom, however, will go on-- they'll just pack up their likembés and hop the subway downtown following the Björk gig. [MORE...]
Pumpkins' Zeitgeist Gets a Tracklist
And you thought "The Everlasting Gaze" was angsty
Zeitgeist's got a summery July 7 release date, but titles like "7 Shades of Black", "Doomsday Clock", and "Tarantula" suggest the album's tailor-made for indoor-kids.
The resurrected Pumpkins, as previously reported, hit the (mostly) festival circuit beginning May 22 in Paris. [MORE...]
Exclusive: Menomena Reveal Summer Jaunt
Photo by Alicia J. RoseWe may have called the Decemberists "Portland's finest" earlier today, but we didn't really mean it. Meloy and co. have to share the title with Danny Seim, Justin Harris, and Brent Knopf, the (usually) clean-cut men of Menomena. Well technically, they also have to share the title with the Thermals and Sleater-Kinney (R.I.P.) and the Shins and about a million others. Seriously, is there no bad band in this freaking city?
Good Portland Band #192A-4, aka Menomena, will go on tour once again this summer proclaiming their musical sweetness to all who will listen. They have a one-off date in Walla Walla, Washington on April 28, but their summer tour kicks off in full Friendly force on June 1 in Seattle. After the tour has run its course in June, the band have three dates in July, one of which is at our very own Pitchfork Music Festival on Sunday, July 15. To buy tickets to the festival, click here.
For all the sordid details from Menomena's road trip, check out Danny Seim's tour diary on LocalCut.com. And in case you missed it, scope Menomena rocking "The Pelican" subterranean-style over in Forkcast. [MORE...]
Calvin Johnson Tours With Julie Doiron, Preps LP
Baritone Beat Happener Calvin Johnson's got a few new projects in the windowbox of his musical mind: one in the seedling phase, and one in full blossom. He'll hit the road for a month of dates with Julie Doiron starting in late May (with a one-off at a pizza place in Portland beforehand), and release Calvin Johnson & the Sons of the Soil April 24 on his own K Records.Sons of the Soil serves as a bit of a Johnson retrospective (or primer, depending on how much K you've taken in your day). It's rife with new versions of old tunes from Johnson projects like Beat Happening and the Halo Benders, splayed out by Johnson and fellow K superstars Jason Anderson (Wolf Colonel), Kyle Field (Little Wings), and Adam Forkner (Yume Bitsu).
Sons presents a mix of studio recordings and live tracks, including some terribly amusing Johnson banter: "So people say to me, they say, 'Calvin Johnson, who are you?' And I say to them, 'why, I am no different than any other man. I put these Wranglers on one foot at a time. If you cut me, do I not bleed?'" Well, it's funny when he says it, anyhow.
Speaking of the Halo Benders, could there be an all-out reunion in the works for Cal and Doug Martsch's long-running side project? The K website links to an April performance of "Freedom Ride" from Martsch's hometown of Boise. Will they reel around the fountain yet again? You'll know when we do. [MORE...]
Manu Chao to Tour North America
This spring and summer, French-Latin- Iberoamerican-salsa-reggae-punk vet Manu Chao will cart around all those hyphens on a lengthy North American tour. The singer-guitarist-activist-Drew Carey Green Screen Show-theme-song-performer adds another credit-- film scorer-- to his name, having recently wrapped up soundtrack work on the Emir Kusturica footballer documentary Maradone.Chao's roadtrip has him hitting virtually all the major U.S. festivals-- Bonnaroo, Sasquatch!, and the soon-to-come Coachella-- along the way. Chao is presently working on his fourth solo album, to be released later this year. [MORE...]
Mogwai Announce Summer Festival Dates
Like the head-butting subject of one of the films they recently soundtracked, it's been a little while since we've heard from Mogwai. But the Glaswegian post-rockers are quietly (and then loudly and then quietly again) writing new songs for the follow-up to last year's Mr. Beast.The band will take those songs on the road this summer on their European festival tour, which includes stops in Germany, Switzerland, Spain, and the UK. It's a laid back schedule that runs from May to September, with plenty of downtime in between for going to Nine Inch Nails shows and writing online missives telling Keith Richards to die now. Okay, maybe it's not so laid back.
Mogwai's fest bender begins May 11 in Zurich. [MORE...]
Jesus and Mary Chain Add New York Dates
Let the reverberations ring out 'round Gotham way; the legendary the Jesus and Mary Chain will supplement their previously drooled-over reunion with a pair of New York City dates. The late-May shows come in the middle of a giant hole in the JAMC schedule...could more dates be on the way?
We've just learned the full lineup for the dates, too, and it ain't no bargain basement, just-the-drummer-and-the-replacement-singer reunion, neither; this is shoegaze royalty. Jim and William Reid are, of course, on hand, plus former Lush bassist and nine-year JAMC associate Phil King, Ride's Loz Colbert on drums, and a guy named Mark Crozer on second guitar will handle the now-classic material. Everyone talks about Psychocandy, but by the way, have you heard Darklands lately? Darklands rules, too.
Don't forget; JAMC might just squeeze an album out of all this reformation stuff, and their spin-off Sister Vanilla are going as strong as their brother band. We'll keep you posted. [MORE...]
