CREATORS PROJECT PROFILE LIVE NOW

NEW TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

(NEW YORK, NY–November 16, 2012) Having provided what Stereogum deemed “a shining example of a group of professionals seizing their televised moment and doing their goddam thing” with their network TV debut on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon back in September, Divine Fits return to slay yet another unsuspecting viewing audience tonight on The Late Show With David Letterman.

Today also marks the debut of a Divine Fits profile at TheCreatorsProject.com. Packed with engaging interviews, anecdotes and live footage, the 5-minute-and-change mini-doc recounts the tale of Britt Daniel, Dan Boeckner and Sam Brown coming together, discovering their chemistry and locking into the groove that resulted in this year’s insanely acclaimed A Thing Called Divine Fits (Merge) and an addictively enjoyable and ongoing tour. Watch The Creators Project video profile here: http://youtu.be/aoJt3zFl3fg

And speaking of live shows, the Divine Fits in the flesh experience that recently moved Time Out Chicago to rave “Every inch the exception to the myth of the bloated supergroup, the Fits proved to be a perfect mix of the two frontmen’s strengths… the group powered through their set to roaring response from the crowd with more than enough firepower to warrant a higher-profile return trip to Chicago in the near future” has extended its live agenda through early 2013. See below for a full list of upcoming shows.

Launched in 2010, The Creators Project is an ongoing global initiative by VICE and Intel dedicated to supporting artists in realizing their creative visions through technology. The project includes an online community and video channel, TheCreatorsProject.com, as well as an official YouTube Channel, youtube.com/thecreatorsproject, a content creation studio, and a global event series.

Debut Album A Thing Called Divine Fits Out Now on Merge

Divine Fits has confirmed its first full scale U.S. tour in support of its recently released and widely acclaimed debut album, A Thing Called Divine Fits (Merge).

The tour will kick off October 16 in Pawtucket RI and will wind up with a November 4 show at Los Angeles’ Fonda Theater. Cold Cave will support from the October 21 show at Webster Hall in New York City onward. Support for the October 16-19 dates is still TBD.

The announcement of the new dates follows on Divine Fits’ handful of shows to date, which began with a series of debut shows in the band members’ hometowns of Austin, Montreal and Columbus OH that drew unanimous raves including AUSTINIST’s “The rapturous applause throughout the entirety of the band’s excellent set let them know they were doing more than a few things right. Put simply, things couldn’t have gone better.”

Divine Fits’ fall tour is also preceded by a series of one-offs and festival appearances, as well a Los Angeles residency that concludes tonight at The Echo. The LOS ANGELES TIMES called the penultimate show of the residency a  “powerful, at times hypnotic gig at the Masonic Temple” that proved “three men with recognizable gifts and a keen sense of song can build mesmerizing musical structures.”

“A Thing Called Divine Fits might be the best rock record I’ve heard all year.”–THE L

“With their sharp hooks and refined new-wave bounce, we have no problem calling this supergroup a super group”–ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY The Must List: Top 10 Things We LoveThis Week

A Thing Called Divine Fits, the debut album from Divine Fits, has been released today, August 28, in the U.S. on Merge and on Universal in Canada. It was released yesterday in the UK and Europe via Anti-/Epitaph.

Early critical reaction to A Thing Called Divine Fits has been insanely positive. Whether covering the album as a whole, first single “My Love Is Real” or various other deep cuts, the media has singled out every track on A Thing Called Divine Fits for individual praise:

“The hook in ‘My Love Is Real’ could have propelled an alternate-universe hit for The Human League — but a spikier, guitar-driven side still wins the day in ‘Flaggin a Ride,’ while “Baby Get Worse’ splits the difference with winning results.”–NPR FIRST LISTEN

“striking chemistry… jittery jags that gain urgency by feeling knocked out–from the breakneck Kraftwerk of ‘The Salton Sea’ to the Wire trance spackle of ‘Neopolitans.'”–ROLLING STONE

“the lock-step drums and spare rusty-razor electric guitar of ‘What Gets You Alone’ is like Boeckner fronting Spoon; and ‘For Your Heart’ is their well-balanced marriage”–NYLON

“‘Civilian Stripes’ is an achingly pretty acoustic number…  it’s a match too good to be true, and– particularly considering the sad state of Modern Rock in 2012– far too promising to let die.”–PITCHFORK

“a lean slice of garage-psych glory”–ROLLING STONE (“Would That Not Be Nice”)

“Rare you hear a song this undeniably great whose antecedent is impossible to find”–ESQUIRE Songs Every Man Should Listen To (“Shivers”)

“most bands also don’t come to the table with the level of quality present in each of Divine Fits’ songs either. New tracks, such as… ‘Like Ice Cream’… make for a diverse and exciting set of songs that rivals anything Boeckner and Daniel have done with their other groups.”–AUSTINIST

Divine Fits will be on tour well into the fall, with a Los Angeles residency being completed by an August 28 day of release show  at the Masonic Temple and a September 4 date at The Echo with Daughn Gibson supporting. See below for all currently confirmed North American dates and check for further news, updates etc. at http://www.divinefits.com, facebook.com/divinefits or @divinefits on Twitter and Instagram.
