When I saw Chelsea Light Moving (ex-Sonic Youth Thurston Moore's band) at the Triple Rock in 2013, I asked why they didn't just call themselves the Thurston Moore band? Maybe they took my advice, because Thurston Moore's band is called The Thurston Moore Band.
The band recently had an extensive European summer tour, and will be doing a number of North American dates (see details below) with Chain & the Gang, in support of Thurston Moore's album The Best Day (Matador Records).
2015 North American Tour
Aug-01 Burlington, VT Arts Riot*
Aug-02 Boston, MA The Sinclair*
Aug-05 Philadelphia, PA Union Transfer*
Aug-06 New York, NY Bowery Ballroom*
Aug-07 Washington, DC Black Cat*
* with Chain & the Gang
Although Minneapolis is not listed (yet), I'm hoping they'll be in town for 'Rocktober'.

I don't think I've mentioned this before, but in the 90s, one of my Toronto penpal friend of mine recommended Asian Dub Foundation to me – based on our similar music tastes. I got around to picking up their then-latest album Rafi's Revenge in 1998, and quickly realized it was just way too political for me. It wasn't for me, but I would love to see them live; hearing their anger and rage in their music, it would make for an explosive show.
The English band is back with Adrian Sherwood in control with More Signal More Noise (the follow-up to The Signal And The Noise), set for release July 10th, 2015, via Believe Recordings.
Apparently the new record is a return to their original sound, with guitarist and founding member, Steve Chandra Savale, commenting, "I think we sound more alive here than on our previous records. We’re uniting stuff that are not often united, radical creativity with a raw primitivism, the primitive experimentalism of the best leftfield rock’n’roll, the best dirty, up-front bass music."
The band will be playing live to George Lucas' THX1138, details below:

Today (April 29th), Moog Music, the North Carolina company that manufactures the famous Moog synthesizers, announces the release of 3 Impressions, produced and composed by M. Geddes Gengras.
You can listen to the three-song EP (entitled "I", "II", and "III") over at soundcloud.com.
The announcement of Gengras' EP coincides with Moog Music's announcement of the discontinuation of two Moogerfooger analog effects pedals used in the recording: the MF-105M MIDI MuRF (est. 2009) and the MF-107 Freq Box (est. 2007)…. so if you are a fan of those pedals, buy them now.
