THE HIVES INVADE AUSTIN
According to this Pitchfork report, after a string of European festivals the infamously insane Hives will be invading our shores with an American tour that thankfully dips south into Austin. Looks like they’ll be playing Sept. 16th at Stubb’s so mark your calendars now people. This is all of course to support the release of last year’s terrific Black and White Album which you should pick up immediately (here’s a track from it!).

The Hives – “Tick Tick Boom”

NEW M83 VIDEO – “KIM AND JESSIE”
Our favorite spacey, 80s-referencing, lovelorn dream-poppers in M83 (which is of course really just Anthony Gonzalez) have released a video for their single “Kim and Jessie”, one of the best tracks off their now seminal Saturdays=Youth. This albums stands beside some of the band’s best work and if the haunting vocals and transcendent tunes don’t convince you, maybe the awesome roller-skating in this very John Hughes-y video will!

TV ON THE RADIO REVEAL LP3 TRACKLIST
Art-punksters TV on the Radio have been releasing a flood of information lately. First the news that they are indeed done with their new album Dear Science, which is due out Sept. 23rd. And now, according to this report the album. now has a tracklist. I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to hearing what “Love Dog” sounds like. Here’s hoping this one’s even half as good as Return to Cookie Mountain. Here’s the list:

01 Halfway Home
02 Crying
03 Dancing Choose
04 Stork & Owl
05 Golden Age
06 Family Tree
07 Red Dress
08 Love Dog
09 Shout Me Out
10 DLZ
11 Lover’s Day

Also, it looks like the band has added an Austin date to their upcoming tour, playing Oct. 30th at Stubb’s. Here’s hoping the set is appropriately Halloween-y!

TV on the Radio – “Blues From Down Here”
