Superchunk working on new LP, touring US 15 February 2001
Now Merge Records, the label they started, has posted a couple of acoustic demos likely to appear in finished form on the new, not yet titled LP. You can download the songs as free, full length MP3 files (check our links). Joining Superchunk for most dates will be Austin trio Spoon, who release a new album of their own next week. And the final east coast date, also in North Carolina, will be a triple bill featuring Superchunk, Spoon, and fellow Merge artist and former Spent singer/guitarist Annie Hayden. Meanwhile, Superchunk main man Mac McCaughan has been busy with his other band, Portastatic, who released their dreamy, latino-tinged, noisy pop De Mel, De Melao EP last year. McCaughan and Portastatic recently recorded the score for the upcoming film Looking For Leonard. The soundtrack CD is due 22 May on Merge. Here are the Superchunk tour dates February 16 - Charlotte, NC (the Casbah) 17 - Atlanta, GA (Echo Lounge) 19 - Jacksonville, FL (Jack Rabbits) 20 - St. Petersburg (State Theater) 21 - Orlando, FL (Sapphire Supper Club) 22 - Tallahassee, FL (Club Down Under/FSU) 23 - Athens, GA (40 Watt Club) 24 - Carrboro, NC (Cat’s Cradle) March 3 - San Francisco (Bimbo’s) 4 - Los Angeles (Knitting Factory) | Superchunk | | Act Surprised (full length MP3) | | Phone Sex (full length MP3) | | Portastatic | | discography | | sample | | top of page | |
