Damn, no Boston/ New England dates :( Maybe he’ll add some or perhaps we’ll just have to make the bi-annual trip to the big apple! In any case, we’ll keep y’all posted as usual.

Christopher Owens Leaves Girls

Hollywood Reporter

It was sad to hear today that Christopher Owens is leaving Girls, one of the best bands from the past few years. There is no further information yet on the status of the band without their frontman. Fortunately, Owens himself will continue to make music. Good luck to both the band and Owens.

* w/ Ottawa band Lazzy Lung

Now, I know what you Boston fans are thinking, damn wouldn’t it have been excellent if the Lips played  a week long tour of back to back shows at the Middle East upstairs and downstairs?!  Yes, it would have :( but we can’t be selfish, the Lips have to spread their glorious rock and roll to all regions of the world.

Here’s the earliest interview I recall of the foursome vocalizing interests in playing Iraq/the Middle East region. This is from an MTV interview with John Norrris from June 2008. At the 3 minute mark they bring up the possibility of playing in Iraq. Check it out:

The Handsome Furs Break Up

Sad news, from Facebook:

“With a heavy heart the time has come to let all of you know that Handsome Furs are no more.
The most important thing that needs to be said right now is how extremely grateful we are to all the fans all over the world that showered us with love and support over the years. Thank you for everything! It’s been an incredible 6 years and we owe it all to you.”

KLYAM was fortunate to attend a pair of Furs shows, check out the reviews:

2011 @ Brighton Music Hall
2009 @ Great Scott

I really was into their sound — it was totally unique to me at first listen seeing as I wasn’t too familiar with electro. Dan and Alexei crafted some extremely catchy songs and were a sight to see live. The music lives on, of course, so check it out if you haven’t.
