a new Dodos song, Menomena minus a member, New Pornographers & Walkmen dates & stuff

Menomena

In addition to separate upcoming dates, The New Pornographers and The Walkmen have announced a week long tour together at the end of April. Unfortunately though, the only time they’re stopping in New York is April 25 at Town Ballroom in Buffalo. All dates are listed below.

The New Pornographers have no upcoming dates in NYC, but contributors Neko Case and Destroyer do. Neko Case will be at The Bell House this Sunday (2/6) with Lost in the Trees and is playing a free show at Barnes & Noble in Union Square on 2/24 with Michael Showalter.

As previously mentioned, Neko Case sings on about half of No Color, the new album by The Dodos out March 15. The Dodos released the first track off the album, “Black Night,” listen below. An immediate download of this song is available on The Dodo’s website with the pre-order of their album. They also recently performed on Pitchfork’s Tunnelvision, video below. The Dodos also announced tour dates, including an appearance at SXSW (but no NYC dates at the moment).

Destroyer, whose ninth full length Kaputt was just released on January 25, is going on tour with The War On Drugs. They’re playing Webster Hall on April 3. Tickets are still on sale.

The New Pornographers also have announced a few April dates with Menomena (including Coachella). According to Menomena’s website, they recently lost Brent Knopf, who left the band to “focus on Ramona Falls and other creative pursuits.” Ironically, Paul Alcott of Ramona Falls’ live band is replacing Knopf on Menomena’s upcoming dates. In addition to touring with The New Pornographers, they also have dates with Maps & Atlases, and an appearance at SXSW.

Menomena will also be overseeing FILMguerrero’s reissue of their debut I Am The Fun Blame Monster! which will be available this spring. As stated in a press release, the reissue includes “a CD/DVD package with extensive bonus materials.” Their newest album, Mines, is out now via Barsuk.
