Asobi Seksu
Asobi

Shoegazey rockers Asobi Seksu‘s new album Fluorescence was released via Polyvinyl in February. You’ll notice at Polyvinyl’s site that the download comes with four bonus tracks, three of which are remixes of the song “Trails”, one of which is done by Deerhoof. Download that Deerhoof remix above if you don’t already have it. Also grab the Beach Fossils remix version of “Perfectly Crystal” which is making its premiere in this post.

As previously mentioned, Asobi Seksu have a big headlining show coming up at Bowery Ballroom, and that show happens to be TONIGHT (4/7). Openers are Zaza and Consortium Musicum. Consortium Musicum are Greg Saunier of Deerhoof & Sean Lennon.

Asobi also recently announced some May dates with White Lies including a 5/24 show at Antone’s in Austin where Asobi recently played SXSW for the fourth time. White Lies have good taste in openers. School of Seven Bells and Sun Airway open their upcoming Terminal 5 show.

And speaking of Beach Fossils, they have their own big show right around the corner. I’m talking about their Friday (4/8) headlining show at Music Hall of Williamsburg with Craft Spells, Crinkles, and “Unannounced Special Guest.” Tickets are still on sale.

In related news, The Drums play a sold out show at Mercury Lounge tonight (4/7) and other upcoming shows too.
