One of the most super awesome, almighty BUZZBUZZBANDs of the year, Girls, have announced a UK and European tour in February and March next year, riding on the back of the success of their ludicrously titled album Album, which of course resulted in one of the most unGoogleable band/album combos in living history. Breathe. »
Possible contenders for BAND OF THE DECADE, Daft Punk, have had their tour dates for next year LEAKED, by someone close to the band, apparently, and we bring this news to you in the form of a list of those very tour dates. Thanks to Undercover.com.au for this very interesting and useful news.»
NEW ALBUM DETAILS INSIDE!»
Danish exports Efterlang have announced tantalising details of their debut record for their new label 4AD, as well as releasing a free MP3 of a track from it, all quite exciting news.»
The first round of marvellous bands have been announced for the Matt Groening curated ATP festival, which takes place in May next year. For some reason, no bands were named when the MG was unveiled originally, but now you'll be able to sleep a bit easier if you've bought your ticket, as good news has arrived your way.»
Around this time last year, Deftones bassist Chi Cheng was badly injured in an horrific car accident, leaving him in a coma, and with life-threatening injuries. Then, in May, he left intensive care, making the first steps to recovery. However, the recovery has not been complete and Chi has remained in a semi-conscious state for much of this time, the process of recovery being slow.»

Um, so, being in a band and going on tour in a big (or little) tour bus and all that isn't always completely rosy, as two separate both both pretty bad incidents this weekend point out.»
This is a new one, in name at least. An 'alternate' version album from the School of Seven Bells is what they're releasing, for last year's SMASH HIT Alpinisms. Yes, we are certain that it's just a pretty much re-badged 'outtakes' sort of record, but they're calling it an alternate version, so it'd be rude not to at least humour them.»

Touring is an expensive business, especially abroad. I mean, you've got flights, food, renting a tour van or bus and about a million other things to do. Lotta dollar, to be frank. We've just found out that New York quartet Asobi Seksu are all too aware of that and, as a result, they're asking their fans to help fund (in a way...more retrospectively) their upcoming UK tour with White Lies.»
Madlib, a.k.a The Beat Kondukta and approximately a million other pseudonyms is fairly prolific, as well as equally high-quality. We've seen that all with Madvillian. Things won't be changing in the near future, either, as Stones Throw have revealed they are to release a whole TWELVE CDs and SIX LPs in a news series.»
Indie-pop behemoths The Magnetic Fields are to return to the recording fold with a new record early next year, their first since 2008. Realism will be released by the Stephin Merritt-led band on January 26 2010, almost exactly two years after their previous studio album, Distortion»
