More Free Goodies from Trent
I recently wrote about Trent Reznor’s summer plans with Jane’s Addition. Tom Morello’s newest project, Street Sweeper has been added to the tour. Additionally, a website has been launched in which you can download a free EP with recordings from each band.
TV On The Radio On the TV
In case you missed it, I thought I’d share TV On The Radio’s appearance on the Colbert Report.
Nine Inch Addiction
Trent Reznor has worked tirelessly the last few years touring and recording many times over. He is currently working with the original line up of Janes Addiction in the studio. The two bands will hit the road for a short tour this summer and then he will be taking a NIN hiatus for an unknown amount of time.
Sadly, our show at BAM with School of Seven Bells has been cancelled. We are hoping that we will be able to reschedule a performance with them later in the year. For those of you who are not acquainted with SVIIB, it is the newest project of Benjamin Curtis from Secret Machines and the Deheza sisters of On! Air! Library!. To put SVIIB’s sound in a visual context, their airy harmonies are equal parts Solaris sci-fi and Koyaanisqatsi spirtual experience. Check out this performance of SVIIB performing White Elephant Coat.

Early Bowie Videos
Thurston Moore will be introducing and providing commentary for the early videos of David Bowie presented Monday December 1st at MOMA.
Joy Division Documentary to Screen at BAM
Filmmaker and music video director Grant Gee created something special when he followed Radiohead around the world filming them during the OK Computer tour. The resulting film, Meeting People is Easy captured a band on top of the world and frustrated with their sudden larger than life image. Ten years later, Gee has pieced together Joy Division, a documentary on the story behind the nearing success and tragedy of Joy Division.
The film will be screened Saturday Nov. 29 at 4:30 & 9:15pm at BAM as part of a series they are curating called Punk ‘n’ Pie.
We are pleased to be performing with Susu and Naked Hearts at the Mercury Lounge on Monday, October 6th.
