From Forever Ago to way off In the Future, they'll flock: Jagjaguwar labelmates Black Mountain and Bon Iver kick off their joint North American tour tonight at Washington, DC's Rock and Roll Hotel. From there, the two entities will bring their potent blend of arresting, atmospheric folk and punishing hard rawk to stages far and wide for three weeks or so before jointly making their ways to SXSW.

And if you're not available for a trip to the District this evening, feast your ears on this: NPR's All Songs Considered Live in Concert series will bring the whole streamin' thing to its website starting tonight at 9 PM EST. And, if you've been unable to make it to a North American record shop today to pick up the Jagjaguwar reissue of Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago, 4AD will bring the disc to the UK and Europe May 12.

Bon Iver recently added a few Midwestern dates in April to follow his brief post-Mountain run with Phosphorescent, so we've got those if you're looking for 'em. And Black Mountain's "Don't Run Our Hearts Around" (along with tracks from Ladyhawk and Vetiver) appears in Murray Siple's shopping cart racing flick Carts of Darkness, which is making the festival circuit at present.

And, hey, speaking of the festival circuit, Black Mountain will join the rest making the rounds at the ATP vs. Pitchfork festival in early May.
