Autolux Tour The States

Autolux Announce Nationwide Tour

Autolux

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.

Arianna Huffington: States Forced to Cut Services to the Bone: The Opportunity Cost of the Bank Bailout

July 24th, 2009 | No Comments

Reading about the huge budget cuts almost every state in the country is being forced to make quickly puts the $4.7 trillion we have pumped into the financial sector into perspective, and leaves us pondering the opportunity cost — what else we could have done with that money. Consider: America’s states are facing a projected cumulative budget gap of $166 billion for fiscal 2010. That’s a massive number. But when you remember that we spent $180 billion to bail out AIG, you realize that that alone would be more than enough to close the 2010 budget gap in every state in the union. Instead, that money has gone to the banks with no strings attached and no accompanying reform of the system. So all across the country the fiscal ax is falling. The devastation is in the details…
