HEALTH returns to NYC on Saturday, June 20th for a New York Night Train show in Brooklyn – possibly at Danbro Studios, and possibly somewhere else (stay tuned). Other bands on the bill are Awesome Color and Kid Congo Powers. Go go artist Anna Copacabanna, drum and trapeze act Wolf and Cub, projection artist Spencer Bewley and projection artists Mighty Robot AV Squad will all also be there along with DJ Josh Styles and DJ Jonathan Toubin.

HEALTH last visited NYC on November 7th, 2008 at the Knitting Factory – a one-off date connected to their tour with Nine Inch Nails.. This summer, the band is also scheduled to play Sled Island Fest in Calgary, as well as a pair of European festivals.

HEALTH’s new disc, GET COLOR, comes out September 8th on Lovepump United. A single for the song “DIE SLOW” came out in April. It’s now streaming with its b-side/remix on the band’s site.

Awesome Color, who are on the bill of the June 20th Danbro show, will be touring this June/July with with Black Dice (June 14th Bowery Ballroom show included), and then with Sonic Youth (but not in NYC).

Sonic Youth have announced all the opening bands for their The Eternal tour kicking off at the end of June. Besides Awesome Color, other openers on the tour will be White/Light, Endless Boogie and The Entrance Band, the last of which opens Sonic Youth’s NYC show at the United Palace on July 3rd. Tickets for that show are still on sale. SY’s most recent NYC show took place at the Music Hall of Williamsburg as part of the No Fun Fest.
