PORNOGRAPHERS GET ROLLING
The NEW PORNOGRAPHERS will release their epic third album, "Twin
Cinema," on August 23rd. The Vancouver-based indie rockers are set to debut
songs from the record on a mini-tour that kicks off tonight in New
Jersey, with new vocalist/pianist KATHRYN CALDER in for NEKO CASE. "The
whole 'Twin Cinema' idea was about going through some upheaval in your
life," frontman CARL NEWMAN told Rolling Stone. "Where all of a sudden your
everyday life looks completely different, because you're seeing it
through different eyes." The band will tour more expansively after the
record's release with additional member DAN BEJAR, whose band DESTROYER
will serve as the opening act.

Well that sucks. We're seeing them in Brooklyn Saturday night.

I concur, though if this means more from Neko solo, thats fine with ME!

Damn you! That's the show with Stars! I was SO going to that show until I found out I had a hockey game at 11am Sunday morning. So I guess I'll have to settle for Stars Fri night in Hoboken (with Most Serene Republic). BTW - New Pornos are playing two nights in Hoboken this week (Wed/Thu).
I agree that not having Neko is not good but if any band can overcome that kind of loss, it's the New Pornographers. The new CD has already been leaked so you can find it if you really look.

And don't forget, the Sadies are on that bill as well.

This may be just for the summer dates. When she was at the Rams Head earlier this year she mentioned going out on tour with New Pornographers (he says crossing fingers and toes).
-
I'm pretty sure Neko's touring with them in the fall. I think she just can't make the June dates due to her own schedule.

Damn...the Wizard beat me to it. At least you know I got your back, Wizard.

So what your saying is that I should not rely on this piece of Canadian propaganda that claims Neko will be there and influenced my purchase of a train ticket to see this show?

Actually I am just happy to get to see Stars again after their recent Black Cat show. Plus I get to return to Brooklyn were all is right with the world. (Let the cheap shots at Brooklyn begin).

Pornographers Get Rolling
Indie rockers will preview "Cinema" on tour
Vancouver-based indie rockers the New Pornographers will release their third album, Twin Cinema, on August 23rd. Fans will get a taste of new tunes, and a reworked lineup, on a mini-tour this month.
While the band enjoys a large arsenal of players -- sometimes upwards of eight -- the newest member has a familial connection: Kathryn Calder, who sings and plays piano, is also frontman A.C. Newman's niece.
"Neko [Case] can't make the June shows, so Kathryn's going to be the girl," Newman says. "So we're going to be kind of like the Fiery Furnaces -- the relatives band [laughs]."
The band will be debut a handful of Twin Cinema tracks on the tour. "I think it's kind of cruel to give your audience an entire album's worth of new songs before they've heard the album," says Newman, "so we'll do about six or seven."
According to Newman, the new songs reflect the Pornographers' desire to expand their sound. "I've always wanted to make a really epic, epic record," he says, "the equivalent of some 1,000-page historical novel -- but within the space of forty-five minutes."
The album's title is about a shift in perspective. "The whole Twin Cinema idea was about going through some upheaval in your life," says Newman, "where all of a sudden your everyday life looks completely different to you because you're seeing it through different eyes."
After the record's release, the band will hit the road for a more expansive tour featuring yet another lineup change: Dan Bejar, who records and writes with the group, will join the Pornographers live for the first time. His band, Destroyer, will also serve as the opening act.
Newman sighs, "Yeah, the fall tour is going to be a totally supercharged Pornographers lineup that will probably never exist again."

What do they sound like. Should I really push myself and my friends to get there on time to see them on Saturday?

So what's the word? A friend who saw the New Pornos in Northampton last night said they were great. I'm really pissed that I missed them and Stars. So let's have a review so I can live vicariously through someone who was there.
