Polyphonic Spree Take the Cult on the Road
Not the band The Cult. That would be weird.
Bring those robes to the cleaners and have Ma mend the hems on your Fragile Army uniform-- it's time for a Polyphonic Spree tour!
Still two-dozen-odd members strong-- and fresh off an unlikely haute couture conquest-- the Spree will take to the streets beginning October 12 in Atlanta. Then it's all sunshine and smiles and good vibes through November 10, when the gleeful bunch lands at the Talleyrand Music Festival in Jacksonville, Florida.
We're so damn happy we can't even think of something snarky to say about this. [MORE...]
Photos: Animal Collective [Portland, OR; 09/16/07]
Photos by Nilina Mason-CampbellAnimal Collective migrated to Portland's Roseland Theater last night to kick out the Strawberry Jams, much to the delight of freaks and geeks alike. The fearsome foursome-- appearing here as a, um, toothsome threesome-- has just begun a continent-spanning tour in support of its Best New Music-earning new disc on Domino. They land in San Francisco tonight, grace national television for the first time on October 5, and skip the pond in mid-October. Catch dates-- including recently-added Amsterdam and Lyon gigs-- and more photos below.

Maximo Park Return to North America in November
Unfortunately, they're opening for Travis
Because they lied when they were 17, Maxïmo Park's new dates are supporting one-time new-Radiohead Travis.
The Park will begin the UK and European leg of their tour in Glasgow on October 1. [MORE...]
Common and Q-Tip Tour Together
Possibly form a group together
Common and Q-Tip will herald the release of the B-Ball Zombie War compilation (on which Q-Tip appears) with a tour together, sponsored by 2K Sports. Joining them will be Stones Throw MC and fellow Zombie contributor Percee P, who just released his long-awaited debut LP.
Tip has a couple long-awaited, oft-postponed albums in the works; right now, The Renaissance is due in "early 2008" according to a press release. And in a recent interview with XXLMag.com, he announced that he and Common have formed a group together called the Standard. (These guys are probably pissed.)
The two have not, however, started recording together yet, and the remaining details remain unclear, except that Q-Tip will handle most of the production and that a few tracks may feature Kanye West.
In addition to the joint tour, Common has a handful of dates on his own. He's also in the movie American Gangster
with Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington coming out soon, and is filming Wanted with
Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman and The Night Watchman with Keanu Reaves
and Forest Whitaker.
As previously reported, Stones Throw will release B-Ball Zombie War on October 2. [MORE...]
Bloc Party, Of Montreal, Deerhoof Hit Iceland Airwaves
So do !!!, Grizzly Bear, Bonde do Role, Prinzhorn Dance School, Amiina, Múm
Bonde do Role are a brave, brave bunch. Not that the bands that make up the rest of the lineup for this October's Iceland Airwaves festival aren't brimming over with gumption, but going from their steamy homeland of Brazil to chilly Reykjavik takes a special kind of dedication. And a special kind of parka. A big one.
Bonde will join a bundle of their bundled-up brethren for the Iceland Airwaves festival October 17-21 all over downtown Reykjavik. Bloc Party, Grizzly Bear, Of Montreal (expect Mr. Barnes in specially designed fur-line assless chaps for the occasion), !!!, Deerhoof, Trentemøller, Annuals, Buck 65, Loney Dear, Ra Ra Riot, Jenny Wilson, Best Fwends, Chromeo, Late of the Pier, Lali Puna, Heavy Trash, Ms. John Soda, the Duke Spirit, Prinzhorn Dance School, Smoosh, the Teenagers, and many, many, more will don their duckfeathers and head into the streets for the five-day fest.
Natives Amiina, Múm, Benni Hemm Hemm, GusGus, and Ghostigital join a massive list of Icelandic natives walking around in t-shirts and looking smug. The full lineup-- still not complete just yet-- and venue information is available at the festival's website.
Not quite ready to make the trek to Reykjavik? Drop a few ice cubes in the tub and fire up the iTunes, as the festival (and the Icelandic Music Export label) will offer an accompanying compilation of Icelandic artists-- including múm, Ghostigital, Benni Hemm Hemm, Seabear, Bang Gang and others-- for download in late September. The tracklist for the collection is available after the jump. [MORE...]
Chromeo Collaborating With Hall and Oates!
So many mustaches!
Sure, Chromeo are geeked to open for the Beastie Boys on a handful of their upcoming Canadian dates. Who wouldn't be? But that's nothing compared to the other piece of news coming from the Montreal electroids today.
The duo will apparently be working with throwback pop soulsters/unlikely indie stars Hall and Oates on the veteran duo's forthcoming LP. Sez a press release, "Indeed, Chromeo's idols Hall and Oates have asked them to collaborate with them on their upcoming record! Needless to say, the gentlemen are giddy like schoolchildren to be given this opportunity."
Idols! Sweet talk from the Tender lads. Anyway, that's happening, eventually.
In addition to the Beasties dates next week, Chromeo have shows all over the place, from Miami to Moscow, all the way until December. [MORE...]
The Good Life Uproot for Huge Fall Tour
Let no one accuse the Good Life of actually living the good life. At least, not in the autumn of 2007, and not unless their definition of "the good life" centers around subsisting entirely on soggy pretzels and warm Fanta, showering bi-weekly, and sleeping for an hour or two at a time in the fetal position in the back of a van for two months straight.With Help Wanted Nights out now on Saddle Creek, Tim Kasher and the gang are poised to plunge into the throes of a tour for the ages. Count 'em: 53 performances in all, spread thickly over ten weeks or so and kicking off September 24 in Omaha. Along the way the Good Life will bump into labelmates Art in Manila and Georgie James, as well as Zookeeper (featuring another Dust Bowl emo-boy-grown-up, Chris Simpson of Mineral and the Gloria Record) and others. Kasher should have plenty of fodder for screenplays after this trek.
And wait a minute, doesn't this guy front some other band or something? [MORE...]
Feist Plots Late Fall North American Trek
Who? Oh, yeah, that gal from the commercials
Photo by Rich Orris
To echo a familiar phrase, unless you've been living under a [something heavy] for the last [period of time relevant to context], you've had no shortage of Leslie Feist in your life. You know, cuz she's on TV, and the radio, and Forkcast, and that digital music player nestled snugly next to your keys, all the time. It's all love, real talk-- we're not just doling out that Best New Music to anybody, you know (though these past few weeks it may seem like we are). But we know as well as you do that Feist's not exactly suffering from lack of exposure.
Still, when Leslie comes a-callin', you oughta perk up. She's recently added a stretch of North American dates to her itinerary, following her time in Europe over the next month or so.
Just remind yourself: Out in the real world, "1 2 3 4" may be everywhere you turn, but at a Feist show, you're only gonna hear it once in an hour. You gotta like those odds. [MORE...]
Fire Breaks Out at Austin City Limits, Several Injured
Update: Now with photo!
According to reports on Austin360.com and the website of Austin network KXAN, a fire broke out in a trailer at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Zilker Park this afternoon, injuring two people critically and wounding several seriously.
The blaze, which KXAN reports was caused by exploding propane tanks, consumed the structure around 2:30 p.m. (central time), sending a tall cloud of black smoke into the air. It apparently spread to other trailers and several portable toilets as well.
Pete Yorn's set on the nearby AT&T stage was suspended as fire trucks and rescue personnel rushed across the grounds. According to Austin360.com, Yorn resumed around 2:55 p.m. and emergency officials had the blaze under control by 3:10 p.m.
Thanks to several readers for the tip.
Austin City Limits kicked off today and, barring further incidents, will run through Sunday, September 16. Just be careful out there, okay guys?
UPDATE: Here's a photo of the fire, taken by Kyle Gustafson.
Wzt Hearts Tie Up Loose Threads on Carpark LP, Tour
Baltimore's simmering skillet of noisy off-the-cuff electronipsych Wzt Hearts has finally turned the burner down on last year's Heat Chief for another treat: Threads Rope Spell Making Your Bones, the band's second LP, due September 18.The CD and digital download are out on Carpark; the vinyl is all Hoss. Fans of Boredoms, Black Dice, or that sound your fire alarm makes to let you know it's ready for action, this could be your new fave rave. If only you knew how to ask the gal at the record store for it.
Oh, and there's a tour, too! These Wzt Hearts can't be broken. [MORE...]
Melvins, Big Business Kick Off Tour Together
Earplug stores kick off massive sale in support
For this next exercise, you'll need a friend and a sledgehammer. Got them? Okay, now give your friend the sledgehammer, and ask him/her to slam you in the head with it as hard as humanly possible. We'll wait while you collect the pieces of your skull off the floor... Now, wasn't that fun?
If your answer is "yes," then immediately click that "[MORE...]" link below and make your way to any stop of the upcoming Melvins and Big Business tour.
Big Business are pummeling in support of their newest album, this year's Here Come the Waterworks. Melvins, who have counted both members of Big Business among their ranks for a minute now, are shredding in anticipation of the release of their Making Love Demos as part of a previously reported package with a comic book due October 9.
Also previously reported is that the first stop of the tour, tomorrow, September 15 in L.A., is a Don't Look Back show featuring Melvins playing Houdini in its entirety and Mudhoney doing the same with Superfuzz Bigmuff and Early Singles. [MORE...]
Simian Mobile Disco Launch North American Invasion
To say the lads of Simian Mobile Disco have had quite a year is a severe understatement. Their record-- Attack Decay Sustain Release-- is great, and just got a little greater with its recent release on these shores, thanks to the wonders of bonus material. They're successfully made the jump from DJ troupe to high-octane live act. Their fuzzier half-- James Ford-- produced two of 2007's highest profile British rock records, Klaxons' Mercury Prize-winning Myths of the Near Future and Arctic Monkeys' Favourite Worst Nightmare. And they've toured everywhere, with just about everybody. And it's only September.Tonight, Simian Mobile Disco will take it on the road for a brief string of North American dates, beginning the last chapter in the group's storybook '07. Though there's plenty of time in October-- save CMJ, which they've committed to-- and the first half of November for remixes and production work and whatever else strikes their fancy (sleep, perhaps?), SMD are touring just about one out of every two nights through the next couple months, mostly with Klaxons and Chemical Brothers. Check 'em out. [MORE...]
