Fucked Up are going on tour soon, playing songs from their Zodiac series as an expanded nine-piece band. That beefed-up lineup includes the members of Toronto’s Doomsquad, which is made up of three siblings (Trevor, Jaclyn, and Allie Blumas) and they’ll open the shows as well. Doomsquad’s new EP, Pageantry Suite, is agile funk that recalls Talking Heads’ Remain in Light, although more chilled out. The EP’s striking artwork was made by artist and filmmaker Chris Boni who also directed videos for two of its songs. Pageantry Suite is out Tuesday (5/19) via Hand Drawn Dracula (Bella Union in UK/EU) and we’ve got the premiere of “Apocalypso” which you can stream below.

The Fucked Up / Doomsquad tour hits NYC on June 26 at The Wick. Tickets are still available. That tour also stops at WFMU Monty Hall on June 27 (tickets). Doomsquad will also be in NYC before the US leg of that tour to open PINS’ Northside show at Rough Trade on June 13 (tickets).
