Black Lips, Deerhunter & King Khan @ McCarren Pool?

Pitchfork: Do you plan to interrupt recording at all this summer for any tours?Before that, The Black Lips are going on tour with the Raconteurs. (thx Frank!)Cole Alexander: I don't want to tour so much. We're known as this touring band, and I'm kind of sick of that. I don't want to burn out by just being a live band, so I really want to block off the whole summer just to record. We'll do the occasional show here and there. I think we're doing a show at McCarren Park in New York with Deerhunter and King Khan and His Shrines, but, beside that, I want to focus on recording. I feel like, when we die, it's easier to live on through records than live shows.

The BL are opening up for the Raconteurs on May 30, so I doubt Bowery Presents will allow them to play another NYC so soon. Maybe in August.

Deerhunter is back?!?!

King Khan is playing New Haven on August 1, so a late July/August date makes sense.

"Deerhunter is back?!?!"

wow - what a fucking bill that would be.

Yeah summer is shaping up nicely. This will be a great show but personally id rather have King and BBQ instead of the Shrines. I just prefer that lineup. Mark Sultan is da man.

Awesome bill indeed. Let's hope that it is not free so it wont' be a hassle to get in.

This would be so much better than Black Lips with the Raconteurs.
Posted by Eduardo | April 4, 2008 12:06 PM
This better not be free. I don't want to wait in lines with a bunch of people that are not even fans, but just want to be there for the scene. Paid concerts eliminate the riff-raff.
