WHITE RABBITS ANNOUNCE NEW DATES

Tour Extended Following Triumphant Lollapalooza Set

“There’s power to White Rabbits, which sets them apart from most of the other indie bands at Lolla, or in the game at all”–TIME OUT CHICAGO

“Lollapalooza’s sun shines, so do White Rabbits”–CHICAGO TRIBUNE

“Their set early Sunday afternoon was a scorcher… easily won over the large crowd… Singer Stephen Patterson was in particularly fine form, delivering his lines with a passionate urgency, and he was driven on by the band’s muscular attack including the double drumming on many of the songs”–CHICAGOIST

Following a spectacular set on Lollapalooza 2012’s Bud Light main stage, White Rabbits have added an additional nine headline dates to an ongoing world tour that includes an August stretch of UK/Europe headline and festival appearances as well as four upcoming dates as direct support for The Shins.

The new dates begin October 4 in Charlotte NC and include stops in Norman OK, Athens, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago and Indianapolis before wrapping up October 19 in Columbus OH.

White Rabbits’ third album Milk Famous (tbd Records) recently earned a comparison from Time Out New York to “a Pixar film: you may get the idea right away, but there’s a treasure trove of complexity waiting to be discovered,” while Rolling Stone noted that “Milk Famous often recalls Radiohead’s ability to find integrity in restless mutability.” White Rabbits have also appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Conan in support of Milk Famous’ release.

BOB MOULD premieres “The Descent” the first single from SILVER AGE

ALL-NEW ROCK ALBUM OUT SEPTEMBER 4 ON MERGE

“The Descent” streaming now at SoundCloud and available at iTunes

New SILVER AGE / COPPER BLUE show added on Oct 30 in Los Angeles

Bob Mould will release Silver Age, his first album of all new studio material since 2009’s Life And Times, September 4 on Merge. The new record features Bob’s current band–drummer Jon Wurster (Superchunk, the Mountain Goats) and bassist Jason Narducy (Split Single, Verbow)–on 10 brand new Mould compositions in the punishingly loud melodically sparkling pop/rock vein of the Sugar catalogue which was reissued via Merge on July 24.

Stream and share “The Descent,” the first single from Silver Age now

Where the current run of Bob Mould Plays COPPER BLUE dates commemorates the 20th anniversary of the 1992 release of Sugar’s debut Copper Blue with Bob and the band playing that record in its entirety, Bob’s fall dates supporting Silver Age will be more elaborate affairs: Copper Blue will still be played front to back, however an additional set and encores mixing the new Silver Age material with Husker Du, Sugar and Mould solo classics will complete the evening. In addition to the previously announced Copper Blue/Silver Age tour dates in the fall, Bob has also announced a date at the historic El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on October 30.

Pre-order Silver Age now on CD or LP in the Merge store and receive a limited-edition patch featuring artwork from the album. Pre-orders will ship to arrive on or around the September 4 release date.

THIRD MAN RECORDS PRESENTS: WILLY MOON “RAILROAD TRACK” B/W “BANG BANG”

Third Man Records Debut Single To Be Released August 20th 2012

Pre-orders Available Now via thirdmanrecords.com

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF479nQ-s8E&feature=youtu.be

Third Man Records is proud to present the latest single by the label’s absolute favorite producer/ singer / rock n roller from New Zealand by way of the UK: Willy Moon.

21-year-old Kiwi Willy writes, records and produces everything on his own and keeps things short. Nothing grazes the three minute mark. Inspired equally by love of the physical energy of Cab Calloway, the brevity of The Ramones, and the style of film noir, Willy doesn’t blend different sounds so much as smash them together–as if rock ‘n’ roll was deep-frozen in 1965, and abruptly reanimated 45 years later by a laptop hip hop producer.

On August 20th (and available for pre-order now) Third Man Records releases the 7″ single and digital download of Willy Moon’s “Railroad Track” b/w “Bang Bang.” Both songs ring out as Big Bang size collisions of R&B (new and old), Gospel, and Doo Wop suavicity making this single one of the most exciting things the crew at Third Man has heard this year.

Check out the Michael Carter directed video filmed on location in Nashville TN for “Railroad Track” here and then pre-order the 7″ here.

ELECTRIC GUEST: FALL HEADLINE DATES CONFIRMED

“THIS HEAD I HOLD” OVER 100,000 SINGLES SOLD

“lean, confident, sleekly retro… It’s recession-era pop, husbanding its most valued resources and worrying, tunefully, about the way ahead.”–Jon Pareles, The New York Times

Currently in the midst of a world-spanning jaunt including festival stops at Japan’s Fuji Rock, Australia’s Splendour In The Grass, and Outside Lands in San Francisco, Electric Guest has confirmed its return to headliner status for a series of U.S. dates this fall.

The newly confirmed headline shows begin October 16 at the Black Cat in Washington DC and conclude November 4 at the El Rey Theater in the band’s homebase of Los Angeles, with stops in New York City’s Irving Plaza, Chicago’s Lincoln Hall, and more.

The announcement of Electric Guest‘s fall tour comes as “This Head I Hold,” the smash single from the band’s debut album Mondo (Downtown), is surpassing the 100,000 sales mark–and still continuing to climb radio charts for 16 weeks and counting–not to mention having being performed on The Late Show with David Letterman, featured on HBO’s Girls and HBO GO spots, Grey’s Anatomy, MTV and more.

Electric Guest is comprised of Asa Taccone and Matthew Compton plus a supporting cast of live band members. The band began in earnest when Asa’s brother introduced him via phone to Danger Mouse, sparking a musical relationship that developed organically into Danger Mouse producing the 10 songs that were unveiled to the world this April as Mondo. Since then Electric Guest has toured relentlessly, been hailed by MTV as an Artist to Watch and nominated for an MTVu Woodie, and had its praises sung by ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (“Winking falsetto and retro swagger… the best new micro-genre of the season”), FILTER (“infectious”), NYLON (“for a quick Friday night pump-up… turn up the volume”),  TIME OUT NEW YORK (“exquisitely catchy retropop. The band is quickly moving toward mainstream status… catch them while you can”), BLACKBOOK (“it’s rare that you come across an unknown band with such raw, unbridled talent and well-constructed songs… you’ll understand that this may be the beginning of something truly great”), MTV BUZZWORTHY (“Electric Guest stormed out of L.A. this year with a sound that’s both Motown classic and electro fresh on their debut album… Clear off your desk, you’re going to need some room to move.”) and scores more.
