Foreign Born Announce 2009 North American Tour Dates :: w/ Austin date (Mohawk)

Starting tomorrow Foreign Born will be hitting the road performing all across North America with the likes of BLK JKS, Grizzly Bear, Warpaint, and most dates with The Veils.

Although we missed them during this year's SXSW (partially cause I wasn't too familiar with them), we'll definitely be at their show at the Mohawk on July 19th. Also joining Foreign Born and The Veils (who I am familiar with) will be Other Girls. Purchase tickets ($10) here. Doors are set to open around 9pm on that Sunday evening for the all ages show.

Thanks to our friend Joey for the recommendation. I haven't been able to stop listening to Foreign Born's (almost two year old), On The Wing Now the past few days. I can't believe it took me this long to get my first listen. I'm highly anticipating their new album Person To Person, and it seems we won't have to wait too long after all. It's due out next month on the 23rd via Secretly Canadian. We have a couple of songs from the new album for you to check out down below.

Tonight: The Kills, The Horrors and The Magic Wands at Emo's

Allison Mosshart of The Kills was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday night in Denver. Apparently a combination of the altitude and a bad cold caused her to have shortness of breath and she was forced to leave the show. She was released from the hospital and plans to go on with the tour. Which leads us up to tonight where they make their return to Austin.

Hopefully she has had some time to recoup and the warm Texas weather will do her some good. The band is joined by The Horrors who recently ditched the style that was bringing the dreaded UK "Next Big Thing" hype and recorded a fantastic new album (mostly in the dark). I listened to Primary Colours last night in it's entirety and it is a phenomenal album. It will be in stores May 5th.

And get there early because Nashville duo the Magic Wands will be opening. They recently released their debut EP Magic, Love & Dreams with what has been called "wall of white guitars" and "unapologetic cosmic pop". We don't know what that means but it sounds good. Give the the lead single "Black Magic" a listen. [The Magic Wands - Black Magic]

Coldplay's Revised North American Tour Dates

Coldplay has moved the dates of some of the previously-announced North American shows. The band have experienced some production delays which mean that the show simply won't be ready for June 29.

All tickets remain valid, but refunds will be available from the point of purchase if you're unable to make it to the new date. So there goes our idea of seeing them in Chicago on August 4 (the day after Lollapalooza ended). The up-to-date tour dates are down below.

By the way, Chris Martin is on the cover of the new issue of

Rolling Stone this month. Click here to read a little bit of his interview with the magazine.
