Los Angeles’ Autolux is about to embark on a national U.S. tour this fall, playing some of their first-ever headlining shows. These dates are Autolux’s first spin around the States since 2005, in support of their critically acclaimed debut album, Future Perfect. Band members Eugene Goreshter, Carla Azar and Greg Edwards plan to offer a preview of new material from their long-awaited, forthcoming album, Transit Transit.
The tour was born out of their confirmed slot at this September’s All Tomorrow’s Parties in New York, curated by The Flaming Lips. After announcing the festival date, and receiving numerous emails from fans around the country in hopes the band would book a tour soon, the three-piece felt this would be an ideal time to fill in the gaps – putting together a coast-to-coast, month-long run, which begins August 28 at the Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco.
Autolux have kept themselves busy doing other various projects throughout the making of Transit Transit. These include collaborating with UNKLE on a song for the album War Stories, composing music for an exhibit at the Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles called “Sonic Scenery,” and traveling to Russia to open for PJ Harvey. In February 2008, Carla went into the studio with PJ Harvey and John Parish to play drums on PJ Harvey’s latest album, A Woman A Man Walked By. Most recently, Autolux collaborated with Australian visual artist Kill Pixie for an installation room for his solo exhibition at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery, hosted by Tim Roth.
