Jay Reatard Unveils First Matador Single, Adds Dates
If all goes according to plan, there will be more of Jay Reatard's forthcoming "See/Saw" 7" floating around than any of the rest of his six upcoming Matador singles, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get excited about snagging a copy of your very own. Jay's inaugural release for the label-- and the first in a plotted string of fewer and fewer copies of more and more singles-- arrives April 8, and will be backed with "Screaming Hand". More to come...or, wait, is it less?
One thing there is assuredly more of: Jay tour dates. After he parts ways with the Black Keys, he'll blow through the rest of April up and down the East Coast with fun-sounding folks like Cheap Time and CPC Gangbangs.
