The Gaslight Anthem: Fall Headlining Tour

July 21st, 2010 | No Comments

FALL TOUR KICKS OFF SEPTEMBER 4 IN LINCOLN, NE

The Gaslight Anthem

The Gaslight Anthem is
excited to announce the first leg of their Fall North American headline tour, supported by The Menzingers and Fake Problems. Presale tickets for the
Fall tour dates announced this week can be purchased here before general onsale commences at the
end of this week. The band’s full Fall tour kicks off September 4 in Lincoln, NE, and will continue through
September, including a headline appearance in New York City at Radio City Music Hall, before culminating with The
Gaslight Anthem’s October 9 appearance at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Austin, Texas. Many more
headline shows during this run will be announced over the next few weeks.

The Gaslight Anthem are currently on tour with Tim Barry (Avail) and Chamberlain, and will be performing live on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno this
Friday, July 23. Additionally, the band also recently released a music video for the album’s title track that was
directed by Kevin Custer, director of the band’s seven-part “Making of American Slang” series that documented the
process of recording the new album. View The Gaslight anthem’s “American Slang” music video here.

American Slang was released globally the week of June 15, 2010 on SideOneDummy Records.
Produced by Ted Hutt (who produced the band’s acclaimed second album, The ’59 Sound), American
Slang heralds a dramatic leap forward for the New Jersey-based band. Tracks such as “Bring It On,” “Orphans”
and “Stay Lucky” bristle and burn with the spirit of soul and the artistic adventurousness and confidence of a band
that has come into its own and truly found its own voice.

Justin Townes Earle: New Album & Tour Dates

July 19th, 2010 | No Comments

FOLLOW-UP TO 2009′S MIDNIGHT AT THE MOVIES OUT SEPTEMBER 14 VIA BLOODSHOT
RECORDS

Justin Townes Earle

Bloodshot Records is pleased to announce the impending release of Harlem River Blues, the third
full-length from
Justin Townes Earle. The
record, in stores September 14, is the much-anticipated follow-up to 2009′s Midnight at
the Movies.

Compared to the much-lauded Midnight at the Movies, Harlem River Blues is more mature and
increasingly
nuanced, while still embracing the raw voice and clean sound of previous standout tracks like Â“Mama’s Eyes.Â”
Featuring guest appearances from Jason Isbell, Bryn Davies and Calexico’s Paul Niehaus, it’s rockin’ and reelin’ at
times, sweet and slow at others – and it’s great. Like good fried chicken, a well-cut suit and a hand made guitar,
there’s heaven to be found in the beautifully crafted simpler things.

Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti: Fall Tour Dates w/ Flaming Lips

July 12th, 2010 | No Comments

TOUR DATES WITH THE FLAMING LIPS, PURO INSTINCT AND MAGIC KIDS

Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti

Ariel Pink’s
Haunted
Graffiti‘s 4AD debut record, Before Today, consists of twelve tracks
(including the single “Round And Round”) and was released worldwide on June 8th 2010 on
CD, LP and digital
formats.

Six months in the making, Before Today was recorded in part in Encino at the House
of Blues (once Tito
Jackson’s home studio) with Sunny Levine (Quincy Jones’ grandson) and Rik Pekkonen (Bill
Withers, Seals & Crofts,
Bread) as well as at the band’s home studios. The result is a beguiling mix of glam rock,
West Coast funk and
Merseybeat harmonies with a high-production sheen; a contrast to the corroded bedroom
recordings that have
fomented a fervent cult following over the past decade.

The outfit now consists of reclusive pop surrealist Ariel Pink (vocals) alongside
Tim Koh
(bass/vocals), Kenny Gilmore (guitar/vocals) and Aaron Sperske
(drums/vocals).
