Majical Cloudz announce tour, Take Away Show debuts
The debut LP from Majical Cloudz, Impersonator, is out now and finding its way into the hands and hearts of so many new fans.Still, the group's in-person power (and especially singer Devon Welsh's uncanny voice and presence) can hardly be replicated - unless you're the talented group at La Blogotheque, who specialize in powerful replication. This is something else, man:
But limit yourself not to excellent internet-based musical diversions. Get diverted in person. Majical Cloudz have just announced US and European dates:

COME - '11:11' Deluxe Double LP / Double CD Reissue In Stores Today
Our 20th anniversary edition of Come's astonishing 1993 debut, '11:11' is in stores today ; I'd love to show you a photo of how awesome the packaging is, but either someone has misplaced the camera in our New York office or they're worried that you'll be blinded by the sheer brilliance of it all. But rest assured, band + associates knocked it out of the park (or, if you deeply dislike inappropriate baseball analogies, they've done appropriate justice to one of the most important album in this label's history).
Over at The Awl, Choire Sicha's interview with Thalia Zedek touches on the band's history, their recent reunion (clips from last week's shows in Germany and Holland are above and below, respectively), the nutty '90's and Thalia's solo work.
