Blonde Redhead Kick Off World Tour
The ever-beguiling Blonde Redhead, just days from the April 10 release of 23-- which sports some fine, fine cover art-- will express the inexpressible on a spring and summer tour of North America and Europe. beginning tonight in Reykjavik. As we previously reported, the reverberations of Redhead will match wits with the blooming Annuals and some campy Midnight Movies on a smattering of dates.
Blonde Redhead's 23 microsite (their term, not mine-- I'm still learning how to dial into BBSes) is counting on you-- well, you, or perhaps the more musically-inclined person reading this over your shoulder-- to remix new track "Signs Along the Path".
What great riches shall you reap from this generous act of remixery, you ask? Dinner with the band? Untold riches? Perhaps a celebrity dye-job? No, not exactly. To the winner go spoils of a spot on the BR website and a chance to get voted on by fellow Redhead fetishists. So if you're feeling an especially strong urge to be judged on your interpretative GarageBand prowess, well, you've got your instructions.
23 is streaming from the band's MySpace page right now as well, so get inspired!
