Allah-Las prep covers EP (listen to "The Earth Won't Hold Me"), expand tour

Allah-Las have a new 10″ EP of covers coming out on November 3 via Mexican Summer, featuring their takes on Kathy Heideman’s “The Earth Won’t Hold Me,” George Harrison’s “Fish On The Sand,” Further’s “JO Eleven,” and Television’s “Hard On Love.” You can stream “The Earth Won’t Hold Me” from it below.

Further, you may recall, was the early ’90s band of Josh Schwartz who died this week at age 45 after a battle with ALS. Allah-Las paid tribute to Schwartz and played tracks from his bands Beachwood Sparks and The Summer Hits on their “Reverberation Radio” mix this week (plus a song by Can’s Holger Czukay who died last week), and you can listen to that below.

You also may rmember that Allah-Las’ show in Rotterdam last month was canceled over terrorist threats. The band made a statement a few days after:

the Dutch authorities have informed us that there is no credible future threat to the venue or the band. More than anything, we want to thank the law enforcement personnel and our fans of Rotterdam—we’re grateful everybody is safe.

We are looking for a new date to reschedule the performance and will provide updates on that as we can. For now, the organizers will ensure all ticket buyers receive a refund as quickly as possible.

The band, as always, supports, peaceful, non-violent protest in the pursuit of social and economic justice.

Now back in the U.S,, Allah-Las have North American tour dates this fall, including a stop at Desert Daze festival in Joshua Tree. They’ve also just announced a new NYC show, happening January 20, 2018 at Brooklyn Steel. Tickets for that show are currently on AmEx presale and go on sale to the general public on Friday, September 15 at noon.
