The Dead C kicked off their short tour with a show at Bowery Ballroom in NYC on Monday, October 13, 2008. Northampton Wools (with Thurston Moore), Sightings, and King Darves were also on the bill. Lori and her friend had similarly conflicting opinions of the headliner. More pictures from the show below...

DOWNLOAD: The Dead C - Canine (edit) (MP3)

The NYC The Dead C show at Bowery Ballroom we talked about back in July is finally here and tickets are still available. Reissues of DR503 / The Sun Stabbed EP (2XLP) and Eusa Kills / Helen Said This will be released by Ba Da Bing Records and Jagjaguwar on November 4th.

The track available for download right here in this post is an edit of "Canine" which is a song that takes up one entire side of the band's new tour-only 12" made of vinyl that plays from the inside out (you need to put the needle normally where the record would end, and it slowly turns outward). You can pick that record up at tonight's NYC show or on any other dates of the short tour.

"the Dead C are a New Zealand based noise rock trio made up of members Bruce Russell, Michael Morley and Robbie Yeats." [Wikipedia]

...The Dead C have announced a brief Stateside visit, kicking off in Philly on the 12th and wrapping just a few days later in the Chi. All kinds of noiseniks and other weirdos are coming out of the woodwork to support the Dead C on this trek, including Thurston Moore's Northampton Wools project, Wolf Eyes, Six Organs of Admittance, and Sightings.

So what's the occasion for this rare overseas voyage? Why, a new Dead C record, naturally. Secret Earth packs in four presumably long tracks and arrives October 14 on CD and vinyl thanks to Ba Da Bing.

But that's not all! Ba Da Bing is also teaming with Jagjaguwar to reissue on vinyl a pair of Dead C classics originally released by New Zealand's legendary Flying Nun label (the Clean, the Chills, the Bats, the Verlaines, etc). [Pitchfork]

NYC are the lucky ones with Thurston Moore on the bill and those tickets are on sale. All dates and a live video below...
