This Week's Tour News

Who: Danielson
When: October 31st
Where: Knitting Factory
More Dates
Thoughts: Before the posting of a new(old) single yesterday, it had been ages since we had last heard from Danielson! I believe it was last year's Seaport kick-off with Animal Collective (which I missed) was their last New York show though I could be wrong about that. Anyway, Danielson always put on a fantastic, color coordinated show so make sure you get your tickets now because this is sure to be a jam packed crowd. Also, come up with a good costume!
Listen: Danielson - "Did I Step On Your Trumpet"

Who: Flipper
When: November 15th
Where: Knitting Factory
More Dates
Thoughts: I was unaware that Krist Novaselic (yes, the one from Nirvana) had joined on with Flipper but I find that to be awesome news. Not that the band didn't merit mentioning on their own, they are only one of the pioneers of that whole California version of punk rock we all know and love. But yeah, this show has the potential to be an insane affair that will rival and live experience you've had this year. I belive tickets are on sale so jump on that.
Listen: Flipper - "Sex Bomb"

Who: MSTRKRFT
When: October 10th
Where: Webster Hall
More Dates
Thoughts: I enjoy MSTRKRFT's music well enough, but what I'd really like is some new Death from Above 1979! Can we get some of that guys? No, you're going on tour again. Ah I see. Well that's cool, have a good trip and I guess I'll see ya' if I see ya'.
Listen: MSTRKRFT - "VUVUVU"

Who: Dan Friel
When: September 30th + October 4th
Where: Death By Audio + Less Artists More Condos
More Dates
Thoughts: Dan Friel is probably better known by his membership in the Brooklyn band known as Parts & Labor, but if you've heard his awesome new album Ghost Town you'd realize that he's certainly just as worthy of note as a solo artist as he is with his band! This is some amazing stuff, and though I've yet to catch him live I'm sure it's mind melting being in the presence of such awesome music being performed live.
Listen: Dan Friel - "Desert Song"

Who: Hercules & Love Affair
When: November 1st
Where: Hammerstein Ballroom
More Dates
Thoughts: I missed Hercules & Love Affair their first trip through the States and boy am I regretting it now with them already jumping up to Hammerstein Ballroom level. Geez, that was awfully quick guys and considering the awfulness of the venue I think I'm just gonna have to take a pass on seeing them this time around. Serves me right for finding something better to do the last time they were in town though!
Listen: Hercules & Love Affair - "Blind"
