Spl:t S:ngle

Britt Daniel of Spoon who recently formed the "supergroup" Divine Fits, now has yet another new band. Britt explains in an interview with an Exclaim:

"I'm going to be recording with this band -- I'm going to be playing bass with Jason Narducy, who's played with Telekinesis and Verbow, and then Jon Wurster [of Superchunk/Mountain Goats] is going to be on drums," Daniel explains. "We're going to be making a record and we're going to have to be there every morning at 11 a.m. We're calling it Split the Evil at this point, but I don't know if that's what [Narducy's] going to end up calling the project."

A Consequence of Sound interview with Jason Narducy, clarifies that Spl:t S:ngle is the name of his new solo project and, "Britt (bass) and Jon (drums) were kind enough to record 13 songs with [him] last month." That's a picture of the band above.

The interview with Exclaim also mentions that Britt Daniel has another Spoon album in the works.

While we've had some teasers in the last few weeks - Wednesday night was the night for BINGO - and the full Fun Fun Fun Fest reveal.

On 7/11 (Happy Slurpee Day!) Fun Fun Fun held their bingo-to-reveal-the-artists event, and while we already knew about Run DMC reuniting and some others, there were quite a few surprises in the massive list of musical acts and comedians announced (Public Image Ltd., Youth of Today, De La Soul, X, Bob Mould, Saul Williams, and Hannibal Burress to name a few).

The headliners (in addition to the aforementioned Run DMC reunion) are an electic-but-looked-forward-to group: Santigold, Refused, and for Comedy David Cross.

Three-day and PIP passes go on sale on Thursday at 10AM CST and will no doubt move fast. Get them here once the clock passes 9:59...
