We’re excited to unveil the new music video from Cold Cave for the track “Life Magazine”. Directed by Ben Chappell and Aaron Brown (Focus Creeps), the video stars Marti Domination whom you might recognize from the cover of Cold Cave’s ‘Love Comes Close’ LP and earlier, as Goodyear in Matthew Barney’s ‘Cremaster I‘. Learn more about the video over at The Quietus and stay tuned to the Matablog for more news relating to the “Life Magazine” single, coming very soon.
Alongside this video debut, we’re excited to announce newtour dates that find Cold Cave across Europe this spring (including stops at the All Tomorrow’s Parties and Primavera Festival amongst many others). The band has also added two shows in Los Angeles, CA and a free all-ages in-store in Atlanta along their current routing. All new tour dates below in bold:
2/4 New York, NY – Mercury Lounge (w/ Nite Jewel) SOLD OUT
As the year comes to an end and the spirit of revisiting things takes us over, we’ve come across the following comment that Jared Phillips (Times New Viking) made to Pitchfork back in January 2008 when discussing life on the road:
I don’t know where the best place we’ve played would be. Probably one of those places that we played with Yo La Tengo that we’ll never get to play again [ laughs ]. Those were all pretty fun but, you know, if it ever happens we’ll be 40 years old by the time we play in a place that big again.
So I guess we’d just like to be the first to say happy 40th to TNV because this coming January good times are rolling through towns from Michigan south to Texas. That’s right like any good combination (chocolate and peanut butter immediately comes to mind), Yo La Tengo and Times New Viking have decided to revisit the road and live performance format together this coming January. If you’re in one of the towns below be sure to catch what should be the chocolate and peanut butter of live shows, for the early part of 2010 at the very least. Tickets are on sale now!!!!

Today we offer the excellent new video for “Born Again Revisited” from Times New Viking’s like-titled fourth full-length album (buy it here, do it right now, it’s their best yet. In this season of opinions and assholes – everybody’s got ‘em – I’ll say it’s EASILY one of the best records of the year).
The band just finished an adult-sized US tour (take note pretenders to the pavement), with more dates to follow in the new year.
Directed by Pelham Johnston and Brandon Reichard, without further ado – “Born Again Revisited”:
Ok, maybe the second row. YooToob is chock full of footage from the first ever Julian Plenti U.S. tour, but with all due respect to the aspiring videographers out there, the above clip —- “Only If You Run”, from the November 18 show at SF’s Great American Music Hall —is one of the better looking/sounding from the pile.
Today sees the launch of Jay Reatard’s scorching four-track/VHS session at Pitchfork.
Stephen and Billy’s last stand, we’re happy to have this one for posterity, but here in the UK we’re also looking forward to checking out the NEW BAND (!!) this week. Find tour dates below the video, and buy Watch Me Fall here.
