Opening up for them was Unknown Mortal Orchestra. I previously mentioned that this was a Portland band but that singer Ruban Nielson is from New Zealand (which would explain his accent). .…

UNKNOWN MORTAL ORCHESTRA
unknownmortalorchestra.com
Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Summer U.S. tour starts tomorrow, June 14th! The band is touring in support of II, out now via Jagjaguwar.
You may remember that we caught the Portland-based band (by the way of New Zealand) last year as opener to Liars. With that tour, the band played music from their 2011 album ("Ffunny Ffrends", "Boy Witch", etc). It should be nice to hear new songs from II on this new Summer tour.
The II album was released earlier in February 2013, which received wide critical acclaim from all the usual suspects (NME, Paste Magazine, etc).
Recently, Unknown Mortal Orchestra shared their take on Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay", recorded for BBC last May. As a cover lover, I approve.
Bonus: check out their video for "From the Sun" via YouTube.

MODERAT
moderat.fm
Moderat is basically Modeselektor (duo Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary) and Apparat (Sascha Ring), from Berlin. Originally the two acts (Modeselektor and Apparat) met twelve years ago, but the three have reunited for their new album, II for 2013.
The trio gave this statement about reforming: "After spending 6 quite intense months in the studio we just finished our 2nd album. It's simply called 'Moderat II' and we aged about 10 years while making it. We still think it was worth the trouble. Not seeing any sunshine or daylight for a long time, we can't wait to go on tour in August and play the new stuff live."
"Bad Kingdom" is the first single, preceding II.
