Deerhunter and Neon Indian To Play Free Shows
Deerhunter in Chicago, Neon Indian in Boston
Urban Outfitters and Levi’s are starting a “Secret Generator Series” that will present free shows to Chicago and Boston (in this first installment at least). Deerhunter will be playing Chicago on 9/25, and Neon Indian will be in Boston on 10/3. Since the shows will actually be played using a generator, the locations of the secret shows are unknown and can pretty much be anywhere. You can keep track of new info on the shows and “clues” right here.

The Heavy Announce Dates With Mayer Hawthorne
The Heavy release US tour dates, to tour with Mayer Hawthorne & the County
Who doesn't know the Heavy at this point? Their single "How You Like Me Now" was all over the media after it was featured in Kia's commercial with sock monkeys and Muno from Yo Gabba Gabba. The band recently completed a successful US tour with Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings and now the Heavy is ready to hit the road yet again. The Heavy starts their US tour in mid October and includes dates with Mayer Hawthorn & the County. Sadly Muno will not be joining them on tour. Maybe next time...

Light Pollution, Prince Rama Team Up For Fall Tour
Light Pollution and Prince Rama to start tour in October
Light Pollution and Prince Rama are both bands that one wouldn't consider in the normal realm of music. Thus it makes perfect sense that the two would join forces for a fall tour starting in early October. After Prince Rama wraps up their tour with Deakin this month they'll meet up with Light Pollution for an extensive US tour, including a date at the Carpark/Paw Tracks showcase at CMJ. Tour dates below...
