bonus tracks? please tell me more.

Two songs called "Nobody Else" and "Mystery Eyes," looks like. I haven't heard them yet, because I haven't found any place to listen yet
@armogi , have you listened to them yet? How are they? Enlighten us

[armogi]

yes, i gave them a listen, they are ok but not as good as the rest of the record imo, they may be a grower.
Nobody else is a duet with some girl, a bit RnB but i have no idea who sings with Tunde, mystery eye is the better of the 2, it's a slow one with a strong bass hook and synth melody.
The CD came with a lyric booklet too (english and japanese, which is cool since it seems there are no lyrics on the regular booklet) but no mention of the guest(s). These tracks are on the vinyl release too, maybe it has more information on the guest.

The band is doing what appears to be a smallish acoustic set at Reckless Records in Chicago before their Metro show on Monday.

I lucked out and don't work that day, plus I was already planning on heading down for the Metro show, so I'm definitely going to try to get in on this! Anyone else hitting any TVotR shows coming up?

Yes, I'll be seeing them for the 6th time here in San Diego @ The Observatory - if you're going too, let me know!

Saw them last night here in KC. Pretty good show. You could still tell their at the beginning of the tour though. They band kind of had to catch up with each other for the first few songs. Tunde also seemed to be having some voice issues. Hit a few bunk notes throughout the show and they even skipped out on playing Repetition. But man Wolf Like Me will never get old hearing that one live. It's made to be played loud and fast. I dug the show, but I do think it was bit better the last time I saw them in 2011.

yay! treefort's this week!

Last night's L.A. set on DIME.
Comedian Hannibal Buress did about 15 minutes as a surprise before announcing them.

Run the Jewels and TV on the Radio to Perform Together on "Late Show With Stephen Colbert"

[fillow]

Has anyone heard anything about this band status in years? They never broke up, but sorta just vanished for almost a decade...

edit: upon further googling, they actually did play a verrrryyyyy limited number of shows pre-covid, most recently in 2019, and a bunch of cancelled dates the same year. That's it.

[wizfan]

I miss them a lot, too... Last I saw, Dave Sitek was working with a different band.

[The Doctor]

My 8 year-old is getting into them. His current favorite song is "Happy Idiot." He loves a good beat. Wish they would get back together and tour so I could take him to the show. And I'd love it too, of course...

[BRoswell]

I miss them too. My hope is that everyone has just been doing their own thing since the last album, and that they'll get back together whenever it feels right.

[henryeatscereal]

didn't realize they been gone for that long, but it's a shame,

I'll always love "Dear Science".

[xolotl]

Yeah, I miss 'em too. I only got to see them live once, under far-from-ideal circumstances. We'd had some fairly major emergency workwise over the day leading up to it and by the time the show started I'd been awake for nearly 48 hours; ended up having to leave early 'cause I just couldn't cope with the crowd crush after awhile. Was still a fantastic show, regardless.

I seem to think that I missed their NIN-opening dates by like two shows or something, back when that tour happened...

[armogi]

Something is coming…

Pretty disappointing news actually, no dave??? That’s not a good sign.

Where did you see that he's not involved?

EDIT: Never mind. Saw it on Pitchfork. Says he's not able to do the shows but is still part of the band, so it doesn't sound like anything bad went down, just prior commitments probably. New (old) song doesn't sound too bad, but it does sound a bit unfinished.

[r_z]

Isn't it basically a demo of Bomb Yourself?

Yeah, but why would they bother doing these shows if Dave wasn't able to do them? It's not like he's an insignificant member of the band, so it's definitely weird. Reminds me of Josh not doing that last The Black Queen tour, and then it subsequently seems like he's no longer in the band.

[BRoswell]

*shrug* If they say he's still in the band, then we have to take their word for it at this point. If something went down, I don't see any reason to hide it. They don't really owe us an explanation though. Maybe he's going to be working on some music around that time. Maybe he'd rather be with his family (it's right in between Thanksgiving and Christmas after all). Maybe he just didn't feel like touring, even for a short amount of time, but gave his blessing for the others to go on. Point is, no matter what the reason, unless someone comes out and says he's not in the band anymore, we have to assume he is based on what we know.
