White Stripes Cancel Tour Due to Meg's Anxiety
Just hours after it was revealed that the White Stripes wouldn't be performing in Texas this weekend, the band issued the following statement:
"The White Stripes announced today that they are canceling their forthcoming tour due to health issues. Meg White is suffering from acute anxiety and is unable to travel at this time.
"The White Stripes sincerely apologize to their fans. 'We hate to let people down and are very sorry.'
"Fans can obtain refunds for their tickets at point of purchase."
All of the band's upcoming American shows are off. Dates scheduled in late October and early November in the UK are still scheduled, for now.
UPDATE: Looks like Muse will be performing in the Stripes' slot at ACL and at the aftershow at Stubb's. [MORE...]
Final Fantasy Hits the Road
Tours with Bloc Party and Cadence Weapon, working on song cycle, big-band tribute
Violin-looping one-man band and apparent Men in Tights enthusiast Owen Pallett will deliver on the promise of Final Fantasy's fall tour starting tonight, September 11, in Milwaukee.
Like an accomplished role-playing gamer, Pallett has further explored the underground caverns and secret passageways of his tour's itinerary and unearthed a few hidden gems in the form of even more dates than previously reported.
Mainly, this means the discovery of a few extra Canadian dates at the end and a quartet of shows with Bloc Party (whom Pallett has ably covered live) at the beginning. Isn't exploring fun?
Most of the trek is a co-headlining jaunt with fellow Canadian (and, yes, former Pitchfork writer) Cadence Weapon. Word on the street is that Owen and Rollie are collaborating, and Pallett is also "working on a series of conjoined releases that contain narratives that are set in the fictional kingdom of Spectrum, in which he is the main deity. In addition, Owen is recording a big band tribute to songwriter Alex Lukashevsky of the band Deep Dark United."
OK, that quote wasn't word on the street. It's from a press release. [MORE...]
LCD Soundsystem's Deluxe 45:33 CD/LP Details Emerge
Front page photo by Kirstie ShanleySure, LCD Soundsystem's iTunes-only (and then digital-only), Nike-commissioned 45:33 running mix was a treat to ears and feet alike. But what about those of us still rocking the Discman when we do our wind sprints (who also don't have CD burners or friends with CD burners or, um, friends)? Well, our moment has finally arrived!
On November 13, as previously mentioned, DFA will drop 45:33-- the mix Murphy himself told us some ignorant listeners deemed "retarded people music"-- on compact disc and double vinyl (you know, for those of you who run with portable turntables). As consolation for the long wait (45:33 originally went digital back in October 2006), they've tacked on a trio of excellent bonus tracks, all UK B-sides, including the sensational "Freak Out/Starry Eyes". Catch the tracklist below. Having someone intone "shame on you" over and over again never sounded so good.
LCD Soundsystem also have the previously reported A Bunch of Stuff EP out September 18, while James Murphy and Pat Mahoney's Fabric mix lands October 2 in the UK and November 20 Stateside. Plus LCD'll get plenty of exercise opening for the Arcade Fire in the weeks to come. Don't forget to slip a few extra bucks into your running socks for that Arcade Fire/LCD split 7"! [MORE...]
Sebadoh Do Bubble and Scrape for Don't Look Back
Photo by Christopher WilsonThey must've shown Lou Barlow one hell of a time at his last high school reunion, as these days, the guy's all about reliving the past. Following the unprecedented success of Dinosaur Jr.'s don't-call-it-a-comeback record and tours, and this spring's detente betwixt Lou and the rest of the original Sebadoh lineup, Lou, Eric Gaffney, and Jason Loewenstein are set to perform Sebadoh's 1993 Sub Pop no-fi classic Bubble and Scrape in its entirety. It goes down May 7 in London as part of All Tomorrow's Parties' Don't Look Back series.
Yep, from "Soul and Fire" all the way through the "Flood", the original trio will unpack one of their many mini-masterworks in full in the UK, marking the first time the classic Sebadoh bunch has performed in England for a decade and a half. This is also the first Don't Look Back event of 2008; I guess looking forward is permitted.
For more from Lou, you can catch him (and Band of Horses!) on a pair of Dinosaur Jr. dates left on their once-sizable tour. Loewenstein hits the road with the Fiery Furnaces this fall.
Shout Out Louds Give You an Ill Bonus Disc
Like the older brother who pretends to be tough but secretly packs an extra sandwich in his lunch just in case you forget yours, Shout Out Louds are undermining the title of their new album, Our Ill Wills, with an extra sandwich of their own.
That comes in the form of a three-track bonus disc companion to the album-- which, by the way, is out on Merge today, September 11. The first two tracks are live acoustic renditions of Our Ill Wills' "Tonight I Have to Leave It" and "Impossible". The last track is Our Ill Wills: The Short Film, a seven-minute documentary shot by bassist Ted Malmos and starring the whole band.
There is, however, one catch: The bonus disc only comes with copies purchased at indie record stores and through Merge's website and mailorder. And really, supporting independent businesses isn't too bad a catch at all.
Shout Out Louds will shower their generosity on the world in the form of live shows, continuing tomorrow, September 12, in Gävle, Sweden. [MORE...]
White Stripes Nix Austin Gigs, Send "Love" Stateside
Photo by Thom Johnston
The biggest decision you'll have to make all season-- Do I see the White Stripes or Arcade Fire at the Austin City Limits festival this Saturday?-- has just been made for you.
Citing "medical reasons," the Stripes have cancelled their September 15 appearance at the ACL fest (according to an Austin360.com report), along with another gig the following night at Stubb's Bar-B-Q in Austin (according to Stubb's' website). We like to call this medical ailment, for which there is no known cure, Playing Against the Arcade Fire Syndrome (although the Stripes can hold their own better than most).
No word yet on other show cancellations, although one assumes that these "medical reasons" aren't going to subside for this Thursday's Albuquerque gig only to return this weekend.
Thanks to Dan at Austin, TX Showlist for the heads-up.
On the bright side of things, Jack and Meg have added a date in Hawaii, further making good on their promise to play ever damned state in the U.S. and every damned province and territory in Canada.
They're also set to unleash their latest single, Icky Thump's "You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do as You're Told)"-- the one with the "Frat Rock" version on the flip-- in the U.S. on September 18 via Warner Bros. (XL's UK edition came out this week). Stripes supporters can scoop up "You Don't Know" in CD and digital formats, and/or 7" if they can hold their horses until September 25. [MORE...]
Bonde do Role Launch Fall Tour
Tonight in D.C., some wild lady in crazy clothes, and her two hooligan friends, are gonna look you square in the eye and yell right in your face. They'll crack wise, tell a few dirty jokes (maybe a couple at your expense?) in a language you probably don't understand, and generally do what it takes to make you sweat a little bit. And you know what? There's probably nothing you'll enjoy more.Bonde do Role, the blaring baile punks, with unleash their Lasers on an not-so-unsuspecting North American continent on the first leg of their massive fall tour. Kicking off in the nation's capital tonight, the band will spend a month in the U.S. and Canada before making their way to Europe and the U.K. through early December.
In the rest of the Bonde news role-call, they've got a dinky song on the miniscule Sneakmove comp, and Marina pops up on that new Go! Team album. [MORE...]
The Live Session EP, exclusive to iTunes, collects, yes, live session recordings of a few Mew favorites. We get And the Glass Handed Kites standouts "Special" and "An Envoy to the Open Fields", along with Frengers jams "Snow Brigade" and "Eight Flew Over, One Was Destroyed". Rare cut "Saliva, Mica & Panda" rounds out the release. Straightforward these guys ain't.
Mew have retreated from the toil of touring to begin work on the Glass Handed Kites follow-up. They also recently reissued a bonus disc-bolstered version of an out-of-print early LP, Half the World Is Watching Me, in Europe via Evil Office. [MORE...]
Miles Davis Colleague Joe Zawinul Dies
Keyboardist, songwriter, and jazz fusion pioneer Joe Zawinul passed away today, September 11, in his native Vienna, according to a Reuters report. The report cites local news agency APA as saying that Zawinul succumbed to a rare form of skin cancer at age 75.The Berklee College of Music alum originally rose to prominence in the late 1950s and 60s by playing with the likes of Dinah Washington and Cannonball Adderley (for whom he composed Pitchfork's #191 song of the 1960s, "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy"). Later, he joined Miles Davis' band, penning the title track from Davis' seminal In a Silent Way and playing on Bitches Brew.
Zawinul started his most longstanding project, Weather Report, with saxophonist Wayne Shorter in 1970. Through various incarnations, the band came to include drummer Peter Erskine and bass legend Jaco Pastorius, among others.
Weather Report combined elements of more traditional jazz with rock, funk, and world music influences to help define jazz fusion and become one of its most popular acts. The band is best known for the song "Birdland" from 1977's Heavy Weather.

Photos by Alissa AndersonDevendra and pals have been rolling down the West Coast, in support of the forthcoming Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. Mr. Banhart brought his freak folk supergroup, known as the Spiritual Bonerz (the "z" is silent, obvs), to Santa Cruz's Rio Theatre late last week. The Bonerz(s?)-- comprised of Smokey collaborators Noah Georgeson, Joanna-brother Pete Newsom, Priestbird's Greg Rogove, Vetiver's Andy Cabic, and Luckey Remington-- plucked out some tunes from the forthcoming LP, which features even more collaborations by everyone from Black Crowe Chris Robinson and Matteah Baim to actor Gael García Bernal. More photos (including a wide angle shot of all the Bonerz) and Banhart's remaining tour dates below.

The Mountain Goats Add Another Round of Dates
Following their previously announced string of dates with the neighborly North Carolinian sorts in Bowerbirds (who nest on Pitchfork contributor Grayson Currin's label), John Darnielle and his Mountain Goats will hit the road again in late October for a couple weeks down the midsection of the U.S.The dates come as the band prepares their follow-up to last year's particularly wrenching (even for him!) Get Lonely. According to the Goats' website, we can expect that new disc in the coming spring. [MORE...]
Qui Kick Off Expanded Fall Tour
L.A. upstarts Qui have a thing for weird names. First, there's the band's own name. Then, there's David Yow, the weirdly surnamed former Jesus Lizard/Scratch Acid firestarter they've roped into the corral for the release of their sophomore album, Love's Miracle.Next, there's Ipecac, the label releasing Love's Miracle this very day (yesterday in the UK).
Finally, there's Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff, Wales, where Qui will end their massive tour this December. The tour, which was pumped up significantly since our last report, begins tonight, September 11, in the band's hometown. [MORE...]
