DOWNLOAD: Black Moth Super Rainbow - sun lips (MP3)
BMSR @ The The Thirsty Nickel, Austin, TX - March 15, 2008
In a pairing that seems predestined, the almost indescribable Black Moth Super Rainbow has signed to Waxploitation. Tobacco, a key member of Black Moth Super Rainbow, will also work with Waxploitation on his forthcoming solo project.Black Moth Super Rainbow are playing Knitting Factory in NYC on May 23rd, and then McCarren Pool in Brooklyn on July 27th (a Sunday). More SXSW pics and tour dates below....Waxploitation is a record label, management company and music publisher also known for its commitment to humanitarian causes.
Its not clearly fixed which of the three or four hats Waxploitation will wear at any given moment with BMSR, but chaos is underrated. To us its more important to simply be down with an artist and lend support in all aspects of their vision, rather than limit our role to a one-dimensional category says a spokesperson for Waxploitation.
Black Moth Super Rainbow - 2008 Tour Dates
Apr 4 - Macrock Harrisonburg, Virginia
Apr 25 - Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center Troy, New York
May 22 - Philly (Johnny Brenda's OR First Unitarian Church??) *
May 23 - Knitting Factory, NYC *
Jul 27 - McCarren Pool Brooklyn, New York (a Sunday)
* w/ Subtle
(thx Brian & Eduardo!)

Their album last year was/is very underrated. They are playing Knitting Factory on May 23 too, opening for Subtle.

Fuck yeah. I'm bringing the cobra juice to this one. Unless it's $45 then I won't be able to afford any cobra juice.

Jel (from Subtle and Anticon) is also doing a solo set as support for this show. Playing his sampler, etc. Should be a good overall show!

Waxploitation does fucking awesome things with their dough including supporting Oxfam America and Doctors Without Borders. One of the few noble crews left in the music business.

luckily nobody said they are opening for Subtle in Montreal in May because they're not:
---
Subject: we are NOT playing montreal in may
Body: for anyone expecting us in montreal with subtle in may, we are not on the bill. we were never asked to be on the bill, and were never available to play that show.
go to see subtle, but don't go expecting to see us.
this has to stop with all the fake bmsr shows. i don't know how or why it keeps going on, but if it is not on our myspace page, it is not happening.
thanks,
tobaxo
