Pitchfork

Menomena have expanded their previously reported tour in support of their latest album, Friend and Foe.

The North American run kicks off in early March, and will wind across the continent for just under a month. Menomena will visit SXSW along the way, stopping at a variety of parties and showcases, including our very own Pitchfork Music Festival/Windish Agency day party at Emo's and Emo's Jr. on March 16.

In other news, most of the band's FILMguerrero back catalog is now available through Barsuk's distribution. Under and Hour, I Am the Fun Blame Monster!, and the Wet and Rusting EP can be purchased through the label, and an I Am the Fun Blame Monster! vinyl repress and Friend or Foe vinyl LP will be available in March and "soon," respectively.
