August 21st might be many months off. Course that doesnt mean you need to sweat out the summer without hearing any new material from Vancouvers rousing pop outfit (I hear they are a super group
),
The New Pornographers. Why, just today we got word that the fine folks at
Matador are offering up an initial taste of whats to come.
From the forthcoming CD/LP,
Challengers, listen to
My Rights Versus Yours Now!
Also, the label has teamed up with a variety of retail outlets to offer its fourth installment of Buy Early Get Now. Order
Challengers a tad on the early side you can expect to be rewarded with a variety of added goodies (mp3s, posters, merch, contests, etc) to tide you over until the record drops. For more information, click
HERE.
Finally, the band will be playing a few shows this summer, highlighted by a July 4th show at NYCs
Battery Park (Yes! Canadians celebrating the American Independence!) and an appearance at
The Pitchfork Festival in Chicago on July 15th.
