Wakefield, England rock band the Cribs have announced plans to re-release their self-titled debut album later this year. The original 2004 release was not released on vinyl, but this re-release will be available on wax; and for the keen Cribs fanatic, it will also include unreleased demos.
Coming soon is a 7″ split single that joins the Cribs with Portland punk band the Thermals. The Cribs will be contributing a new track called “So Hot Now” (previously only available as a B-side to their “Cheat on Me” single) and the Thermals will provide a tune named “Separate.” The 7″ will be released on Record Store Day, April 17, 2010, and is limited to a run of 2000 copies.
The band are set to appear Spain’s Benicassim and England’s Reading/Leeds festivals this summer.
The Hold Steady is preparing for a spring tour of America. In addition to the headlining tour, the band also has scheduled appearances at the Sasquatch Festival in Washington State and Summerfest in Milwaukee.
The band is set to release their next album, Heaven is Whenever, on May 4 in America on Vagrant Records. The album was produced by Dean Baltulonis, who engineered the band’s debut Almost Killed Me and produced their second album, Separation Sunday.

Electropop / dance artist Little Boots (real name Victoria Hesketh) has announced her first headlining tour of North America for this Spring. Last year she won the BBC’s Sound of 2009 poll, pretty much ensuring that everyone in Britain would know her name.
Lest you surmise that her voice can’t stand alone without electronic backing, think again: at Suffolk, England’s Latitude Festival last July, she performed an unplugged version (just piano and voice) of “Remedy” for Radio2 presenter Stuart Maconie that totally stunned and blew me away. I wanted to kick myself for missing her late-night set at the Dot to Dot Festival in Nottingham on May 24, 2009 (thanks a lot, Mistress Jetlag). If electropop is your poison and dancing is your “Remedy”, I suggest checking out the promo video for the song below.

Festival organizers cited that schedules and timing of artists was not permitting them to assemble a cutting edge roster that would be up to Rothbury’s usual standards.
Madison House Presents’ Jeremy Stein explains, “This event is something very special, and we are unwilling to potentially tarnish what ROTHBURY is, and can become, by working under conditions that will produce anything less than a magical experience. Our efforts are certainly not coming to an end.”
Organizers do plan to return with the even in 2011.
