About Me |
|
| Oh my dears, it has been a long horrible winter -- some of us were under the weather, some of us just couldn’t stand it. But like soggy cigarette butts in a melting snow bank, The Two Koreas are ready to show ourselves again. Whilst we reconvene in closed quarters to plot future triumphs, we offer the audio equivalent of, well, a blog-post update in the form of the "Sessions EP," compiled from two radio performances originally broadcast last year on XM Satellite Radio station The Verge 52. Included on this collection are new recordings of various "Altruists" insta-classics, a couple of reheated "Main Plates and Classic Pies" for the purists and exactly 2.5 previously unreleased songs."Sessions EP" will be released June 12, 2008 on Unfamiliar Records in glorious vinyl and somewhat-less-glorious-but-wholly-practical mp3 format, as no one in the band actually has a functioning CD player hooked up at this point. That same night we shall perform for the first time in SIX MONTHS at the beloved Beaver Cafe, 1192 Queen W. in Toronto. And a mere 48 hours later, we will be appearing at the El Mocambo (464 Spadina Av.) as part of The MuseBox's NXNE showcase on June 14.The tracklist for "Sessions EP" is as follows: Side one: 1. Withering Heights 2. 54 Is the New 27 3. Steely Can 4. Boy Teen OsloSide two: 1. Hotel Christiania 2. Cloth Coat Revoltuon 3. A Neu Ing/No More Drinking With Estonians | |
