I think I may be over my head when it comes to randomly accepting tour assignments. Next week, I will be pretty much out all week, but these two dates are particularly bad for me: October 28th and 29th. So to spotlight those two dates:
DANDY WARHOLS
www.dandywarhols.com ♥ myspace.com ♥ twitter.com
First up will be The Dandy Warhols at the Fine Line Cafe in Minneapolis on October 28th, this is the same night that I've agreed to see Funeral Party (see previous entry). I've already seen The Dandies a few times as well, so, yeah, you can count me as a fan. I'm actually pretty excited about this upcoming show, because I'll be looking forward to hearing some new material, as well as hearing them play their hit like "Bohemian Like You" as well as "Minnesoter", you betcha. Speaking of hits, apparently this new tour is for their latest compilation The Dandy Warhols Collection: The Capitol Years: 1995-2007, out now on Capitol Records/EMI (just in time for the holidays and would make a great gift for the Dandy fan).
If you've already own all of the Dandy Warhols' albums, like I do, you'll be happy to know that there is one exclusive new song on the compilation.
Here are their tour dates:
PEÑA
secretstashrecords.com ♥ facebook.com ♥ twitter.com
I wanted to cover this band because they're on a Minneapolis-based record label called Secret Stash Records, but since I couldn't find anyone to cover this event, I've reluctantly accepted to see them (this is the same night as Joan of Arc).
Peña are playing next Friday, October 29th at the Cedar Cultural Center (fast becoming one of my favorite venue, I will honestly accept any shows that is playing at this venue), in celebration of their album release. The show is cheap ($8 advance, $10 day of), and will be a seated show. I am told that the CD comes in an elegant wooden box and comes in a CD/DVD combo, making owning the album to be special. If it looks nice and decently priced, I'll be sure to pick up my copy.
In the meantime, if you're interested in hearing what they sound like, described as Afro-Peruvian, their website is giving a free MP3 of "El Mayoral", excerpt below:
JOAN OF ARC
joanfrc.com ♥ polyvinylrecords.com
We've previously mentioned Joan of Arc a few times here, so naturally I want to see the band play live. They're coming here to the Turf Club on October 29th, so I'll be leaving Pena and heading straight to St Paul to catch the band.
For their 11th album, Joan of Arc wanted to record their new album with legendary producer Steve Albini at Electrical Audio, but they need your help to raise money. They are offering some really attractive gifts if you pledge money (including five of their albums for a measly $40). You can see a complete selection at kickstarter.com (this project ends on November 30th, so if you want some of these unique gifts, mark it on your calendar).
See the band, currently on tour:

We are excited to announce that we are GIVING AWAY A FREE MP3 download of the song “El Mayoral” by Peña. We recorded this track in the Spanish Cultural Center located in Lima, Peru on April 16th, 2010. While it was not part of a concert, it was tracked live (all the musicians playing together in one room) in a beautiful theater. Because we did not have access to a recording studio, we were forced to improvise and record wherever we could set up our portable rig. It just so happens that on this day we were very fortunate to be granted access to this incredible space. We must extend a special thanks to Rafael Santa Cruz and The Cajon Festival for allowing us to use the theater. At the bottom of this post are a few pictures from this session.Peña is out now, you can order it here (free shipping) and here (iTunes).
