Shabazz Palaces Opens in Brooklyn
“We are delighted to be sharing the stage with pals in
Band Of Horses. We danced a beautiful dance together at Madison Square Garden
and there is a lot of love between our camps. It's gonna be a good old-tyme
thrill ride!" - Jim James
Shortly after completing their back to back tours in Japan
and Australia, My Morning Jacket are taking their celebrated, exhilarating live
show back on the road this August with the announcement of their North American
tour, with Band Of Horses in support.
Since their sold out Madison Square show to end off 2011,
they've played a triumphant performance at the Independent Spirit Awards in
February and shared the stage with Preservation Hall Jazz Band commemorating
their 50th Anniversary at Carnegie Hall. Jim James also completed a tour with
New Multitudes (Jay Farrar, Will Johnson andAnders
Parker) in promotion of their album honoring Woody Guthrie. Additionally, the
band has been busy curating the Forecastle Festival for the festival's 10th
Anniversary, where they will conjointly be headlining the event along with Wilco and Bassnectar.
The band are showing no signs of slowing down in the months
surrounding their tour. My Morning Jacket will be contributing to John
Fogerty's new album, Wrote a Song for Everyone, which will be released this
fall. In the month of June, they will complete a European tour making stops in
Spain, The Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Belgium and the
United Kingdom. The band will also be headlining this year's Beale Street Music
Festival in Memphis, Tennessee and Newport, Rhode Island's Newport Folk
Festival, as well as performing at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival
next month.
Commencing their tour in Denver, Colorado at Red Rocks on
August 3rd and 4th, My Morning Jacket will be recording both performances and
offering them as complimentary downloads to all ticket holders for those shows.
Both My Morning Jacket and Band Of Horses are enthusiastic of hitting the road
for the month long tour. "YES! We're touring with the incredible My
Morning Jacket!” says lead singer Ben Bridwell. “So psyched to hit the
road with our buddies and (hopefully) warm you all up for the greatest
band going."
