Canadian rock-spazz duo Death from Above 1979 return to the studio this September to record the follow-up to their (rather splendid) debut 'I'm a Woman, You're a Machine'

Bass-monster and synth-basher Jesse Keeler told American newsfelchery Billboard that "The new album will come out in March, but we will be done with it in December... I write the music and Sebastian writes all the vocal things -- which I have nothing to do with. It will probably be 10 songs long and ... epic."

Plus, if you're up for a trek, the pair tour with Queens of the Stone Age and Nine Inch Nails in October.

Hooray!

This isn't on Pitchfork, NME or even the bands forum yet. You guys are quick!

Isn't a combination of naked and quick a BAD thing though?

That's the trek part. 3000 miles worth of trekkage...

If the rumours are true, Queens are playing a rescheduled Kok date pre-reading (possibly the 23rd of August) DFA1979 are in the Country at that time. I WILL cry tears of joy if they support.

*Koko

The 23rd is actually the date of the DFA Mean Fiddler gig. But I'm praying they still might do the Queens thing. Annoying really, as I was meant to be going DFA.

I'm almost skeptical. Their usual sound set-up seems like a receipe for a one-off wonder. But I'm A Woman is so good, I pray I'm wrong.

I hope they headline their own show (at a smaller venue). I hate going to gigs to see the opening act.

Re: DFA1979: New LP in March

I'm confused. Who you talking about? The Mean Fiddler is wee and they're headlining that.

I know what you mean about the one off wonder thing. There's definately a limit to what they can do with a bass, drums and synth. I don't mind more of the same if it's good quality, but hmm...

DFA1979 produced the most boring performance I have ever seen in Koko, possibly in live music ever when they played there a couple of months back. Worse than Goldblade, worse than co.uk.

Loved the debut album, the first half of it is excellent. Hopefully they'll do a full nationwide tour over here soon.

I think they are an amazing live act and both Heads Up and Your a Woman are both excellent releases. I think they need to ensure the music goes somewhere new as well as some tracks that stick to their traditional "sound"......it will be interesting to see which path they choose.....whether it leans more towards the Dance element.....or maybe they revert to using different instruments and assault the heavy rock market.. I like the hybrid tho.
