The last time we saw this inventive live band, I mentioned that of Montreal will be releasing Aureate Gloom (Polyvinyl Records). Now that it's getting a little closer to its release date (March 3, 2015), I'm happy to unveil their cover artwork, as well talk about their upcoming tour in support of the new album. of Montreal was one of my favorite live bands, so you definitely need to see them if you have not experienced them live.
The Aureate Gloom tour will take the Athens-based band from the southeast to SXSW in Austin, and then westward bound…. and then back again to Austin in April!

UK's Gang of Four will be heading to the US in support of their latest album What Happens Next, set for release on February 24, 2015, via Metropolis Records in the USA and Canada, and Membran in Europe.
It should be noted that the upcoming album is a first without vocalist Jon King… so the title (What Happens Next?) is fitting. John Sterry (credited as Gaoler on the liner notes) will take over the vocals, and he's heard singing with Alison Mosshart from The Kills, Robbie Furze from The Big Pink, Gail Ann Dorsey, German superstar Herbert Grönemeyer and Japanese superstar Hotei.
US tour dates:
03-04 Philadelphia, PA – Theatre of Living Arts
03-06 Boston, MA – Paradise Rock Club
03-07 New York, NY – Irving Plaza
03-09 Toronto, Ontario – Lee's Palace
03-10 Cleveland, OH – Grog Shop
03-12 Minneapolis, MN – Varsity Theater
03-13 Chicago, IL – Park West
03-14 Nashville, TN – Mercy Lounge
03-15 Atlanta, GA – Variety Playhouse
03-17 Houston, TX – Warehouse Live Studio
03-18 Dallas, TX – Trees
03-23 San Francisco, CA – Independent
03-24 Los Angeles, CA – El Rey Theatre
03-25 Solana Beach, CA – Belly Up Tavern
03-28 Santa Ana, CA – Burgerama
