BRITISH ROCKERS STEREOLAB TO TOUR WITH SAM PREKOP
Stereolab |
When two musical voices of this stature decide to do a few dates together, it seems worth making sure that everyone is aware of what's going on. There are two reasons you should care that Stereolab is touring. For starters, their records are pretty fucking amazing, and they were one of the more influential bands to come outta the '90s. The manner in which they deliver their tasteful melodic space-pop with heavy doses of Krautrock and total attention to the sonic landscapes they are creating should be reason enough. The other reason you should care is that in 2002, Stereolab vocalist and guitarist Mary Hansen was tragically killed in a cycling accident. The band was determined to push on and most certainly has, but if you haven't seen them of late, you may be missing out on a truly wonderful band. And furthermore, it's always nice to see how folks rebound to adversity in their life/career. It's often the breeding grounds for the greatest of art - so go see Stereolab.
Sam Prekop |
The other artist we're talking about is Sam Prekop. Best known for his work with Chicago's chillest lounge-pop act, The Sea and Cake, Prekop will be touring major markets with bandmate Archer Prewitt on guitar. Sam Prekop toured the states last summer for the first time in five years for the release of his second solo album, Who's Your New Professor. Five years removed from his self-titled solo release, Prekop joined together with the same core group of musicians to create an album that is intricate, subtle, and wholly engaging. With this new release, Prekop has pushed his talents to their fullest and succeeded in creating a new musical landscape for himself. Who's Your New Professor is a perfect exercise in forceful delicacy.
Prekop will be supporting Stereolab on most dates. Tour dates for both bands are below.
