Pitchfork

TV on the Radio have finished recording their first LP and updated their tour schedule since we last checked in with them. The band has been mum about the details of the album, which is set to come out in February 2004 on Touch & Go. Pitchfork did manage to contact the band's David Sitek, but all we really managed to ascertain is what's faintly written on the t-shirt that vocalist/former indie movie star Tunde Adebimpe is wearing in the picture on the band's website. It's "I'm worried about it," which is his preemptive response to anyone who might ask him how "it's" going. That's exclusive headline dirt right there.

As for the band's tour, which kicks off in earnest at the end of this month, venue information has been fleshed out considerably since we ran our initial story, and some killer co-headliners have been added for individual dates. On any given night, TV on the Radio will be playing with notables like Interpol, The Rapture, Quasi, and The Get Hustle. All dates from October 30th onwards are with Birdland unless otherwise noted.
