Whitehorse touring, including NYC w/ The Body before their tour w/ Thou (whose new EP is streaming) (dates)

by Doug Moore

Whitehorse at the Acheron, 2012 (more by Fred Pessaro)

Both Australian sludge/noise unit Whitehorse and prolific and like-minded Americans The Body (who, for the record, are in fact currently based in Portland, OR) are both at Roadburn this weekend and will embark on separate European tours afterwards. Once they’ve wrapped those up, the two will reconvene for a NYC show at Saint Vitus on May 8. along with compelling local support from Gnaw & Theologian. Tix are available now.

This won’t be your only opportunity to catch The Body live this spring/summer — they’ll be back on July 5 at ABC No Rio as part of their tour with Thou, whom they just released a collaborative EP with. Not to be outdone by their tourmates in the absurdly-prolific department, Thou have also released another EP, this one a standalone entitled The Sacrifice. You can stream it below. In a thematically appropriate but wholly unsurprising twist, it features a Nirvana cover (“I Hate Myself and I Want to Die,” specifically), a band they’ve covered before.

(And speaking of Saint Vitus and Nirvana…)
