Young Marble Giants Reunite!
Domino Records eyeing Colossal Youth reissue
Before crumbling to dust/solo projects after just three brief years and one full-length album together, minimalist Welsh indie-poppers Young Marble Giants managed to leave an appropriately imposing legacy and an indelible mark in the annals of post-punk.
According to a BBC Wales report, the influential trio will reunite for a May 27 performance at the Hay Festival-- their first proper live appearance in some 27 years (numerologists, start your engines!). The literature/arts fest event takes place at Clyro Court in Hay-on-Wye, Wales, near the English border; although the festival lineup isn't confirmed yet, Young Marble Giants are listed on the festival's draft schedule.
This reunion gig apparently came about at the behest of Domino Records, who are believed to have a reissue of the Giants' lone LP, Colossal Youth, planned for the near future.
The Hay Festival itself runs from May 24 thru June 3 this year in the bookish border town. It features a flurry of readings, panels, discussions, and films with and/or involving men and women of letters, such that you can't help but leave afterwards feeling, well, really super duper smart and stuff.
Young Marble Giants, meanwhile, haven't exactly been strangers-- the original trio of Alison Statton, Stuart Moxham, and Philip Moxham, along with honorary fourth Giant Andrew Moxham, reconvened back in 2004 at Wales' BBC Radio studios for a documentary shoot. They've also contributed to one another's projects over the years.
Charlotte Gainsbourg's 5:55 Hits North America via Vice
Admit it: by the curtain's close of The Science of Sleep, Charlotte Gainsbourg's craft-making and hard-to-get-playing won you over in ways her pretty, deceitful blonde friend never could. Charlotte hopes Francophiles abroad will fall for her wistful, knotty music in much the same way April 24, when the North American issue of her sophomore effort 5:55 hits shelves via Vice.With words penned by Jarvis Cocker and the Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon, music from Air, and behind-the-board work from Nigel Godrich, 5:55's got plenty in its corner; its New World incarnation adds two additional tracks-- "Set Yourself on Fire" and "Somewhere Between Waking and Sleeping"-- to further captivate.

Two Gallants Houston Case Finally Dismissed
"It's incredible to think that the city of Houston, in the state that it is now, you know, after Hurricane Katrina and the history they've had, that a seemingly easy case would take so long to be finished like that."
The backstory: On October 13, 2006, Two Gallants and opening act Trainwreck Riders were performing at Walter's on Washington when police officer G.M. Rodriguez entered the club to investigate a noise complaint. Accounts vary of what, exactly, happened next, but Rodriguez ended up on stage, demanding that the band stop playing. A fight broke out, and Rodriguez shot several people with a Taser gun, including Two Gallants frontman Adam Stephens. In the melee, Vogel and Trainwreck Riders' Andrew Kerwin and bassist Sean Kohler were arrested. Vogel was charged with a misdemeanor for "interfering with a public servant."
Thanks to video footage of the event and a sensible District Attorney, the charges against Vogel were finally dropped just a couple weeks ago. The Gallants are ready to move on, and have already recorded a new EP, the acoustic The Scenery of Farewell, which will be released June 19 on Saddle Creek. A new full-length is in the works for September, and the duo will open for Primus bassist Les Claypool on tour this summer.
We chatted with Vogel about the circumstances of his charges being dropped, as well as Two Gallants' future plans. [MORE...]
Tussle Duke it Out on the Road
Bay Area blipmakers Tussle are, as their name suggests, always game for a bout; and, boy, have they lined up a formidable cadre of opponents for their upcoming late-spring tour.The opening bell rings tomorrow night as Tussle mix it up in matches with heavyweights Hot Chip, YACHT, ADULT., Professor Murder, and Parts & Labor. Will their pulsating pugilism match the sweet science of their opponents? For the sake of their nose-bone, we sure hope so; Tussle may not be as big as their challengers, but they sure are scrappy. Place your bets now.
In less combative Tussle news, their latest release is "R", part of Tomlab's alphabet-themed 7" series. "R" packs a wallop, with "Meh-Teh" from Tussle's eventual third album and a remix of "Second Guessing" from rabble-rouser YACHT. [MORE...]
Alex Delivery Release Jag Debut, Tour With Frog Eyes
We're starting to think Jagjaguwar might require its bands to put equine creatures on their album covers, because Alex Delivery's debut full-length, Star Destoyer, is the second album to feature a horse-like animal on its cover in as many months for the label. Technically, it's a unicorn, but whatever...it still fits under a saddle.Star Destroyer isn't all cover, however. The package also features a compact disc of recorded musical sounds. The aforementioned Brooklyn quintet Alex Delivery made those sounds, and Jagjaguwar will release those sounds April 24.
The next month, Alex Delivery will join Frog Eyes on a tour of the U.S., though their first date is a solo show in Chicago on April 26. Canadian dates are in the works. [MORE...]
Fucking Champs Triumph Yet Again With VI, Tour
Hard-rocking San Francisco indie veterans the Fucking Champs will continue their winning ways with the release of their latest album, VI (take that Led Zeppelin!), out April 24 via Drag City.In addition to the core of Tims Green and Soete, Phil Manley from Trans Am and Oneida contributed guitar, piano, bass, and synthesizer to the record. And, in the grand tradition of recent Drag City artists (mostly Bonnie "Prince" Billy), VI also features a cameo from uncomedian Neil Hamburger on "Fozzy Goes to Africa".
The Champs enter the tour arena in support of VI starting May 24 in Atlanta. [MORE...]
Tim Buckley Revisited With Live DVD
The ghost of Tim Buckley will take a break from haunting the dreams of that Starsailor band to issue My Fleeting House, a DVD compiling fourteen televised performances from the late folk-rock maverick (and father of Jeff).My Fleeting House packs Buckley tunes culled from various long-canceled programs alongside interviews with Buckley co-writer Larry Beckett, guitarist Lee Underwood, and Buckley biographer David Browne. All but two of My Fleeting House's performances are previously unreleased in takeaway form.
Buckley fans in a few select cities will get the chance to peek into My Fleeting House at a series of free screenings in the days prior to its May 15 release (via MVD Entertainment Group). Dates and the tracklist after the jump. [MORE...]
Patrick Wolf to Tour With Amy Winehouse
His latest "magic position": holding her hair back while she pukes
In a seemingly discordant pairing, orchestra-wielding pop sophisticate Patrick Wolf and swamp thing Amy Winehouse will team up for a few North American dates in early May. Wolf, whose lovely Magic Position will arrive Stateside May 1 via Low Altitude/Universal, has also added an in-store at the Virgin Records in New York's Union Square, where he'll whisk about onstage and then write his name on stuff.
As we previously reported, Pat's recent projects include an abundance of UK-only singles. [MORE...]

Oakley Hall Tour With Bright Eyes, Gillian Welch
Merge-signed country-loving Brooklynites Oakley Hall have found the perfect touring partners in Bright Eyes. They'll join the Oberst-led Omaha-dwellers-- who now have a #4 Billboard debut for Cassadaga to celebrate-- on the band's previously reported tour, which includes almost a month of dates with Gillian Welch as well.But first, Oakley Hall will play a few dates on the East Coast, one of which is with Spoon. Then in June, they'll head to Europe for gigs in Barcelona and London. According to the act's website, they've completed recording their Merge debut and follow-up to last year's double whammy of Gypsum Strings and Second Guessing. [MORE...]

In a bulletin posted yesterday on their MySpace page, indie-folk-rock foragers Grizzly Bear announced that they will be missing a few shows over the weekend due to the death of a relative. The bulletin reads:

all our love"
Our best wishes go out to the fellas of Grizzly Bear.
For those looking to hunt down the Grizz, they're still on for next weekend at Coachella, a spin around western Europe, and a few of the bigger U.S. festivals, including the Pitchfork Music Festival, July 13-15 at Chicago’s Union Park.
