Regal Degal

Brooklyn trio Regal Degal left us for a while, moving to Los Angeles for a year or so before returning to the four-seasoned NYC earlier this year. The band’s new EP, Pyramid Bricks, is out digitally via Terrible Records on Tuesday (7/30) and on vinyl at the end of August. The first released track, “Unseen,” still has their arty post-punk tendencies on display but finds them little more focused, melodically. You can stream it below.

Regal Degal will be accompanying their label boss Chris Taylor’s band, Grizzly Bear, on a few of their August tour dates, all of which are listed below. Grizzly Bear, who’ll play Lollapalooza in Chicago next weekend, have also added a few since we last posted, and updated dates are below too.

Before their tour starts, Regal Degal will play a warm up show tonight (7/28) at Coco 66 in Greenpoint (which seems to be booking shows again after run-ins with the Fire Marshall a couple years ago. The bill also includes Blanche Blanche Blanche-related group Big French and, according to RD’s blog, “some sort of mystery band called ‘Plum Brandy’.” Hmm. No word on cover for tonight but Regal Degal are on second and are set to play around 9:30 PM.
