Fucked Up will be playing a one off show to support The Vaccines at London’s Alexandra Palace on November 17th.
Will The Vaccines be able to handle our Canadian bruisers? Will they escape without being upstaged? Perhaps so, check out their take on the Minor Threat cover of the The Standells’ track “Sometimes Good Guys Don’t Wear White.” They’re even joined on stage by original ‘Threat member Lyle Preslar.
If you’re like us (and I suspect you are), YOU LOVE MUSIC FESTIVALS almost as much as you love freedom. And there’s so many that are close to our hearts. Matador’s Lost Weekend. Atlamont. The Gathering Of The Juggalos. The Cornerstone Festival. I could go on, but you’ve probably got some illegal downloading to back to, so let’s cut to the chase. Transmission Entertainment’s 7th annual Fun Fun Fun Festival is happening in Austin, TX this coming November 2, 3 and 4, and we’re thrilled to find out at the last minute announce Tanlines, Fucked Up, Paul Banks and The Young are all taking part.
Likewise, ATP America’s “I’ll Be Your Mirror” weekender (September 21-23) has been moved from Asbury Park, NJ to the glamorous West Side of Manhattan. The Lee Ranaldo Band and Chavez will be playing, along with a tremendous lineup of performers, none of whom are named Louis C.K. They’ll all have their hands full measuring up to Richie Blackmore at California Jam (above) , but there’s no harm in trying.
West Coast, get ready because Fucked Up’s coming your way this September. Check out the full tour listing below (+ Fun Fun Fun Fest in early November!)

Rough Trade employee Sean Forbes is currently taking part in the new Vice/Noisey feature ‘Record Store Dude’, whereby they feature ‘those in the know’ giving you the low-down on whats really happening, from their perspective on the other side of the counter. So far this year he’s been kind enough to publicly trash both Fucked Up’s Year Of the Tiger, and now the Ceremony album, Zoo.
Let Sean’s advice help you to sift through the rubbish currently out there and uncover the real gems of the moment… like Lana Del Ray and the Ting Tings.
Back in early January WE SHOCKED THE MUSIC WORLD with news of a $1.98 Matador/True Panther Sounds sampler LP including (mostly) new songs from The Young, Ceremony, Lee Ranaldo Tanlines, Perfume Genius, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, Fucked Up, Girls, Cold Cave, Esben and The Witch and Kurt Vile. It’s come to our attention that a) there’s a few stragglers out there who’ve yet to order this limited edition LP, and b) some of you either trashed your record players or simply prefer music in digital form.
So here’s the deal — you can still order the vinyl version from The Matador Store or hound your local retailer who might’ve filed it in THE $2 BIN. Failing that, here’s a free download of the entire compilation. You’re welcome!
