Last Night: Gossip at Emo's

You have got to love Beth Ditto. With a hoarse voice and a little exhaustion she still managed to put on one of the best shows we've seen in a while. She still sounded amazing and the only criticism of the vocals seemed to be coming from Ditto herself. We highly suggest everyone check out The Peen Scene for their photos from the show. They were in the right spot and have some stellar pics from the show. Us not so much..but you get the idea :)

Gossip announce headlining tour (with Austin Date)

Gossip have announced their U.S. headlining tour in support of their new album Music For Men. The tour kicks off in Washington, DC at 9:30 Club on October 7 and runs through October 30 at Vino’s in Little Rock, AR (see below for full itinerary). I'm excited to say that an Austin date is scheduled as well on October 29th at Emo's. Produced by multi Grammy Award winner Rick Rubin, Music For Men is in stores on Tuesday October 6, 2009. Music For Men has the UK press raving.  Clash called it "Wild, sexy and scintillating, ‘Music For Men’ is the most euphoric thing you’ll hear this year." Guardian exclaimed Music for Men is a raised fist of a record. This record is bigger and better than anything they’ve done before.” We have already had a listen to the record and it exceeds expectations.
