Lifeguards: New Band With GBV’s Pollard & Gillard

ALBUM OUT FEBRUARY 15

Waving At The Astronauts

Robert Pollard and Doug Gillard of Guided By Voices are Lifeguards. Their debut release as Lifeguards, Mist King Urth, emerged in 2002 on Pollard’s own Fading Captain Series label to fervent fan approval.

In 2010 Pollard and Gillard reconvened for the first time since the end of GBV in 2004 to create the astounding follow up: Waving at the Astronauts. The album is scheduled for a February 15, 2011 release.

While there are no Lifeguards shows announced at this point, you can catch both Bob and Doug in one night when Gillard opens for GBV on New Year’s Eve at New York’s Irving Plaza.

Nearly sold out, the final copies of the album’s first 7″ single “Product Head b/w Naught Windsor” are available right now.
