New LCD Album and Tour Announced

We mentioned a while back that LCD Soundsystem are releasing a new album – well, what usually happens is that a new LP is accompanied by a tour, and that’s exactly what the fuzzy edged Mr. Martin has revealed on the LCD Soundsystem myspace page blog.

basically, we’re back. and going on tour in a few months.  so we’re packing up our lives and getting progressively better at packing light and working with airmiles, etc.  and i guess gathering gear and practice and all the other crap that comes with putting on this broadway musical called “lcd soundsystem” (jazz haaands!).

otherwise it’s the same.  i (james) miss playing live a bit, which means it was a GOOD idea to take an extra year between these records.  now i can finally get rid of that pesky life i was living and actually live from april on in either a bus, plane, stage or hotel room.  sometimes i can go out to eat, too.

…

um, so…  we’re going on tour.

Great news, as far as we’re concerned – dates below, more details on venues here.

LCD Soundsystem Confrimed for Sonar

I’ve mentioned before that I’m a big LCD Soundsystem fan – hopefully I’ll be able to make it down to Sonar in Barcelona this year to catch twinkle-fingered mix master James Murphy, as he’s just confirmed that he’s playing there this summer (although it seems a long way from June, with road, rail and air travel all over the UK being shut off by ice and snow). Mr. M is looking very comfortable with a few post-Thanksgiving, pre-Christmas pounds added on. Obviously a man more after my own heart than I thought. Fear not though, January’s resolutions are bound to hold!

New LCD Soundsystem track

Just a brief one for all those who are fans of James Murphy’s (as I am). A new track, Bye Bye Bayou will be out on vinyl on the 7th of November, and digitally via DFA’s site on the 24thov Nov.
