STREAM DAN DEACON’S RECORD STORE DAY 7” “KONONO RIPOFF NO. 1”!

Dan Deacon is set to release “Konono Ripoff No. 1,” a limited 7” (500 hand-numbered worldwide) for this year’s Record Store Day. An homage to the legendary Congolese Konono Nº1, the song has been a fan favorite of Dan Deacon’s live shows for some time, yet has never been recorded until now. This 7” features two versions of the track as performed by two sets of dual drummers: Kevin O’Meara and Jeremy Hyman on Side A; Denny Bowen and Dave Jacober on Side B.

The cover photo for the 7” was taken at Whiteside Mountain near Highlands, NC by Molton Brouff, the winner of the crowd sourced Dan Deacon America Instagram contest presented by Aperture. Find out more information and see the gallery of submissions here: http://dandeacon.com/america

This Friday he performs a sold out headlining show at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles. Later this month he’ll perform at some of the nation’s biggest museums and art centers including the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, Mass MOCA, culminating with a special performance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on April 27. The Metropolitan Museum of Art show will feature the world premiere of two new pieces for large ensemble made up of Deacon’s band as well as So Percussion, What Cheer? Brigade Marching Band, NYU steel drum ensemble, LEMUR robotic instruments, and Yamaha Disklavier player pianos. The show will also be the first live performance of USA I-IV in it’s entirety.

NEW SINGLE “MIRROR” PREMIERES ON PITCHFORK LISTEN HERE

For Immediate Release: April 3, 2013
**All Content Cleared For Posting**

NEW SINGLE “MIRROR” PREMIERES TODAY ON PITCHFORK
LISTEN HERE

ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM JINX
DUE JULY 23RD VIA SLUMBERLAND RECORDS

“All the subtlety of a high-pressure firehose…a dour, post-punk atmosphere that goes for immersion rather than force.” - Pitchfork


Photo Credit: Eli Marias

After unleashing a mysterious demo track “Sirens” last fall, today San Francisco-bred and Brooklyn-buttered band Weekend offers up the first official taste of their forthcoming second LP, Jinx. Crafted alongside Monte Vallier (The Soft Moon, Young Prisms), who produced the band’s 2010 debut Sports and 2011’s Red EP, the new album reveals a wonderfully singular work with an expanded spectrum of sound. Jinx emerges as Weekend’s most confident, emotionally unfiltered release to date, and the effect is roaring and disorienting all at once.

As lead singer/bassist Shaun Durkan once said, “If you think we were loud and obnoxious before, you’re gonna hate this” (Sentimentalist Magazine). Premiering today on Pitchfork, Weekend’s lead track “Mirror” sets the stage - and you can expect a gloriously noisy return.

Weekend will be playing live on May 16th with No Joy at Glasslands (Brooklyn, NY).
Tickets are available here.

TOUR DATES!!!!

April 3rd, 2013
New York, NY

LIARS

WATCH: “The Exact Color of Doubt”


In the run up to a series of live dates in the US and Europe, LIARS - Angus Andrew, Julian Gross and Aaron Hemphill - have premiered a brand new video for “The Exact Color Of Doubt” from their critically acclaimed album, WIXIW.

Watch “The Exact Color of Doubt” HERE

Director Markus Wambsganss, who collaborated with Liars on Drum’s Not Dead, has described the video as “3D Screen Test Scans in the Villa Straylight”, and explains that this is “a continuation of what the band and I started together with ‘The Other Side Of Mt. Heart Attack’, this time using a hacked Kinect sensor to scan their upper bodies to match the more digital feel of WIXIW”.
The video is also up for a MuVi Award, the FIRST festival award for music videos from Germany. Be sure to cast your vote HERE before May 3rd!

This May as a part of the Wordless Music Series, Liars will be playing two very special shows in New York in May. The first show on May 18th will take place at The Temple of Dendur At The Metropolitan Museum Of Artand feature multi-media and site-specific surprises as part of the MET’s “PUNK: Chaos to Couture” exhibit. For more information on this sold out show head to the MET’s website. In case you missed snagging tickets for that show be sure to grab yours for the band’s Brooklyn Masonic Templeperformance on the 19th.Tickets are still available here. The band also has tour dates in Barcelona for Primavera Sound and Sónar’s 20th Anniversary (full details below, more European and US dates to be announced).

Self-produced, with additional production from Daniel Miller and mixed by Tom Biller, WIXIW is an album that is hard to shake, tough to pin down, and impossible to get out of one’s head even after an initial listen.

Simultaneously the most accessible and most challenging release from these iconoclasts, it is both a summation of Liars’ work up to now, and a complete break from anything you’d ever heard the band do previously.

Summer Tour Dates:
5/18—The Temple of Dendur at The Met-New York, NY **SOLD OUT**
5/19—Brooklyn Masonic Temple- Brooklyn, NY

European Tour Dates:
5/23—La Cartonerrie-Reims, France

Best Coast released their debut album Crazy for You in the summer of 2010, and the critically-acclaimed, Jon Brion-produced follow up The Only Place in the summer 2012, which placed on both Spin and Rolling Stone’s Best of Albums of 2012 list. Their dedicated fan base continues to grow. With an impressive 100k Twitter followers, a simple tweet linked to a home recording of Rob Orbison’s “Crying” instantly reached 20k plays. Best Coast remain one of the busiest rock bands around. The duo are gearing up for a US Tour this Spring with legendary rockers Green Day. Best Coast will then headline their own tour starting May 26. The upcoming dates will be the first chance to hear brand new songs from their newly recorded EP, release date coming soon. And with Record Store Day just around the corner, it’s only fitting that Bethany and Bobb partake in the activities. With the backing of Clarks Originals, Best Coast will release a brand new 7” “Fear Of My Identity,” available exclusively through participating indie stores.
