Happy New Year! Down Below: Carpark Family Japan Acute Metal Mania Paw Tracks Animal Collective Shim-Sham CARPARK NEWS We're going to Japan! Greg Davis, The Animal Collective, Ogurusu Norihide and yours truly (as DJ) will present the first-ever Carpark Family Japan tour next month. Here are the dates: February 26th - Kyoto - Metro February 27th - Nagoya - Tightrope with Lullatone February 29th - Tokyo - Shibuya Nest Greg Davis' "Curling Pond Woods" will be released February 12th. After the Japanese tour, Greg Davis will tour the midwest and east coast with his new band AND Marumari. Dates are currently being confirmed, so if you are interested in setting up a show please get in touch with us. In April the Greg Davis Group will tour the UK for a couple weeks with Thrill Jockey's Town and Country. Hopefully the Group will make it out to the west coast this summer. Look out for full lengths from Casino Versus Japan and the Hrvatski/Greg Davis duo on Carpark this fall. We've also received a limited number of Takagi Masakatsu "Opus Pia" cds (previously out of print) so please check out our online shop if you'd like one. ACUTE NEWS Metal Urbain's "Anarchy in Paris!" is out now! Check it out at your favorite shop (if they don't carry it suggest they do) or order it directly from us at the acute online shop (www.acuterecords.com). (Our cd is for North America only.) First two orders that mention this newsletter will get a free Metal Urbain t-shirt! Our reissue contains everything from the pioneering late '70s french synth-punkers: from the first single ever on Rough Trade to several unreleased gems. Metal Urbain will return to North America this March for a show at South by Southwest in Austin plus a west coast tour. Look out for post-Metal Urbain projects Metal Boys "Tokio Airport" and Dr Mix and the Remix getting the Acute reissue treatment in March and May. Glenn Branca's first solo release "Lesson No.1" will be reissued by Acute in April. We've included the rare "Bad Smells" composition (featuring Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore) made for the Twyla Tharp Dance Company plus a rarely-seen live video of "Symphony #5" from 1984. Weasel Walter of Flying Luttenbacher's fame has remastered the audio and Alan Licht has written liner notes. It should be one of THE reissues of the year! PAW TRACKS NEWS The Animal Collective have been busily preparing new releases for the summer and spring. Look out for the next Paw Tracks' release Panda Bear "Young Prayer" this June, plus an Avey Tare and Panda Bear record on Fat Cat in May. A Paw-Tracks compilation is planned for the fall. After the Japanese tour, The Animal folk will play a handful of shows on the east coast before heading back to Europe for most of April. Dates to be announced soon. Animal should hit the American road again this summer. New Paw-Tracks website should be up soon! Stay warm and see you next time. Please let us know if you do not want to receive these emails.
