fashion week favorites MGMT - 4 NYC shows in October, hopefully Will Berman's foot recovers, 2008 tour dates

September 15, 2008

MGMT recently
* got really big really fast
* played a MINI show on a NYC roof
* played a Prps denim party at Highline Ballroom
* didn’t play a SoCo show in Albany due to an injury

Soulwax recently remixed MGMT. Get the MP3 HERE.

One of the music stories of the summer was, like it or not, that MGMT drew huge crowds almost everywhere they played. Lollapalooza was one of those places. The (not yet posted) pictures in this post are from that performance.

MGMT start a tour with Beck later this month and play two shows with him in NYC on October 9th and 10th. Later that month they’ll play two soon-to-be-announced NYC shows of their own. All dates (and more pics) below…
