Quintron & Miss Pussycat: New Album & Tour Dates

NEW ALBUM OUT APRIL 12 VIA GONER RECORDS


Sucre Du Sauvage

Quintron and Miss Pussycat
will release their new album, Sucre Du Sauvage on April 12 via Goner Records. The album was
recorded From January 29th through May 2nd of 2010, where Quintron punched a time clock and reported to work
at the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) to write and record the album in a public gallery space. Quintron’s intent
behind the museum recording studio was not to entertain visiting museum goers with any kind of performance, but
to completely ignore them and go about the business of making this record. When needed, viewers would be pulled
into the process and used for backing vocals, hand claps, grunting, etc.

During the final seven days of recording, Quintron chose to imprison himself within the museum and its surrounding
grounds – a beautiful swampy nature preserve called “New Orleans City Park.” He would roam the park by night
making field recordings and then weave them into the final mixes of the album by day.

The NOMA sessions produced literally thousands of hours of tape. The album is the cream of that crop – the
Sucre Du Sauvage. There was no post production or overdubs. When the exhibit closed, the album was
finished. All tour dates are available below.

“SUCRE DU SAUVAGE” TRACK LIST

1. Ring The Alarm
2. Face Down in the Gutter
3. New Years Night (Boogie Children)
4. Kicked Out of Zolar X

5. Banana Beat
6. Sucre Du Sauvage

7. All Night Right of Way

Foo Fighters Tease New Album Due Out Spring 2011

FOO FIGHTERS UNVEIL FIRST TASTE OF NEW ALBUM;
CONFIRMED FOR SPRING 2011 RELEASE ON
ROSWELL/RCA

Foo Fighters have launched
http://tease.foofighters.com, featuring a first taste of
“Bridge Burning,” the opening track of the band’s seventh full length studio album, due out this spring on
Roswell/RCA. Check out the teaser below.

The album, produced by Butch Vig and mixed by Alan Moulder, was recorded entirely on analog
tape in the garage of Dave Grohl‘s home in California’s San Fernando Valley. The new record marks the
Foo Fighters’ first full length effort with legendary producer Butch Vig, whom Grohl first worked with on Nirvana‘s classic Nevermind.
Nirvana co-founder Krist Novoselic also makes a cameo, contributing bass and accordion to “I Should
Have Known,” while former Nirvana touring guitarist and longtime extended FF family member Pat Smear
now joins the permanent FF core of Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett.

Concurrent with the album’s release, Exclusive Media Group’s documentary division Spitfire Pictures will be
producing a feature documentary about the Foo Fighters to be directed by Academy Award winner James
Moll
(The Last Days, Running The Sahara). The documentary will chronicle the entire history of the Foo
Fighters, from the cassette demos Grohl
recorded during his tenure as Nirvana’s drummer through their ascent to their Grammy-winning, multi-platinum,
arena and stadium headlining status as one of the biggest rock bands on the planet.

The new Foo Fighters record will be supported by an extensive world tour. The band is confirmed to headline across
the worldwide summer festival circuit, including
Washington state’s Sasquatch!, the UK’s Isle of White, Pink Pop in the Netherlands, Germany’s Southside and
Hurricane, Oxegen in Ireland, T in the Park in Scotland, Optimus Alive in Portgual, and more to be announced as
they are confirmed.
