Carbon/Silicon Bond With Matt Pond PA on Tour
Matt Pond PA photo by Jeremy BaldersonCarbon/Silicon, meet two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen, and a guy named Matt. Yes, Carbon/Silicon-- the ex-punker supergroup spearheaded by Mick Jones of the Clash and Tony James of Generation X-- will be joined by Matt Pond PA on a North American tour this spring.
The two bands will link up in mid-March for about a month of nearly-nightly rock of both the raucous and gentle varieties. Both have terminally-titled 2007 releases to plug: Carbon/Silicon issued The Last Post back in October on Caroline, and Matt Pond's new one Last Light, with special guest Neko Case, dropped in September on Altitude.
Matt Pond PA have a tour of their own to attend to before they meet up with Carbon/Silicon, while the band of vets is mostly supplementing its time around the Pond with festival gigs and the odd club date.
