Tashaki Miyaki add NYC date; Holograms expand tour (dates)
by Bill Pearis
Takashi Miyaki
A couple out of town bands playing NYC in August have added dates while they’re here. L.A.’s Tashaki Miyaki, who play Glasslands on August 6 (tickets still available), will now also play Pianos the following night (8/7). Sparking astral, post-Velvets vibes, their new single, “Best Friend,” and it’s lovely black-and-white video, are highly recommended. You can watch the video below along with updated tour dates.
Far more frantic are Sweden’s Holograms who already announced a September 4 Mercury Lounge show (tickets still available) which has since turned into a full North American tour, including a new NYC date at 285 Kent on September 8. (Updated dates are listed below.) No other bands are on the 285 bill yet, but don’t be suprised if the line-up’s heavy on the Captured Trasks roster. Holograms debut album is out next week on C/T and is of the jagged, angsty post-punk variety that should appeal to folks who love the first two Echo & the Bunnymen albums or, more recently, Iceage (who play 285 Kent and LPR this month). Video for their single “ABC City” is below.
Updated tour dates for Takashi Miyaki and Holograms, are listed below, along with videos…
