Stars - Sad Robots EP, free download, NYC show Saturday

Stars

"Stars introduce Sad Robots, September 1 exclusively through www.sadrobots.ca. A free and all new live version of the track "Going, Going, Gone", a fan favorite from the band's first LP, Nightsongs, will also be available exclusively from the website via MP3 beginning [since] that date.

Still in the throes of their theatre-as-life aesthetic and continuing to explore the art of a guarded romance, Stars will unveil the beauty and tragedy of Sad Robots with an all new live show, draped in the Sad Robots visuals while they perform songs from all four full-lengths, including 2008 Polaris Prize nominated In Our Bedroom After The War. For those lucky enough to secure tickets, a limited edition, physical copy of the Sad Robots EP will be available at each show on the tour."

Stars play Terminal 5 in NYC tonight (Sept 20). Those unlucky people who didn't secure tickets are in luck becaeuse the show does not appear to be sold out. All tour dates below...

Thank you BV. Stars is one of my favorite bands and I just assumed this sold out long ago. Just bought two tix on Ticketmaster and paid the service charge to those evil bastards, but sometimes it's worth it.

I absolutely love the Sad Robots EP. It feels like a return to form for Stars to the band I fell in love with. For much of IOBATW, I just couldn't get into the material like I had been able to with the previous albums.
