Sunny times require sunny tunes, and New Zealand's Ruby Suns are happy to oblige. Now, in addition to their current run of European shows, the Memphis / Sub Pop Best New Music ians have a full-blown North American tour to accompany their appearance at the Pitchfork Music Festival in July. All of the U.S. shows are with Tilly and the Wall .

How can you tell a Hold Steady fan? Is it the shoulder, slightly ajar from all the fist pumping? The watch, constantly set on beer o'clock? Or is it the Stay Positive temporary tattoo affixed to their upper arm?
sooner rather than later. Just a reminder: The festival takes place July 18-20 at Chicago's Union Park. Like last year, the whole shebang kicks off with an ATP / Don't Look Back night, featuring Public Enemy, Mission of Burma, and Sebadoh each performing one of their classic albums in its entirety.
"Constructive Summer"? Yeah, I should say so. The Hold Steady , already set to drop Stay Positive on us July 15 in the States on Vagrant (and July 14 in the UK on Rough Trade ) have lined up a full-stop U.S. tour immediately following the album release.
nowadays. Right? Sally Forth might seem like the world's least likely source for left-field indie rock references, but check this out: for roughly the last decade, the strip's been penned by one Francesco Marciuliano , who looks like a dude who digs Vampire Weekend and Trail of Bread . Man, what a strange gig to have.
