Our video for “Cinnamon and Lesbians” is out today! You can see it via Domino
It was directed by Jay Winebrenner http://jaywinebrenner.tumblr.com/ here in PortlandIn addition you can also download the song at itunes today. All the details as well as some NY party news is sorted out eloquently by Matador below. Honestly we don’t fully understand everything that’s going on so …..We’ll let Matador explain all this for you:“…today sees the debut of the first proper video from the record, for the previously unheard “Cinnamon and Lesbians” (available now as an instant grat with iTunes preorder).
Additionally, Amazon has announced an exclusive US pre-release stream of Wig Out At Jagbags – it begins on New Year’s Eve ! The stream will live at http://smarturl.it/WigOut_Stream – but don’t visit that URL yet as nothing’s happening there until the 31st of December. Instead, we’ve made it easy for you to set a reminder with iCal, or with Google Calendar. Remembering is hard. We’ve got you. You can pre-order the CD and LP now.
ALSO: on Thursday January 9th some insane shit is happening at Other Music in NYC (SM + Jicks support a wide variety of retailers y’all). BUT: you have to do your work early by entering to win at the store or athttp://othermusic.com. We’re talking private show and private party with Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks. I am literally wigging out:”
Are you still reading? Oh, hi. Ok. Enjoy, see you soon. Have fun with all that stuff, hope it all works for ya.
We are pleased to announce the US leg of the Wig Out At Jagbags Tour! We will be hitting a good part of the US and Canada starting in February and continuing well into April. We”ll be covering some familiar territory as well as new ground such as Pappy & Harriets in Pioneertown CA (!) and Missoula, MT ( MISSOOOULA!!!). As if that weren’t enough, we are playing with some pretty stellar outfits along the way. Tyvek starts us out in the Rockies through the midwest. Disappears join in Chicago through the northeast. Major ruckus bringers, Endless Boogie, choogle down the eastern seaboard. Purling Hiss help us try to find warmth down south, and Speedy Ortiz fuzz down our beloved left coast.
Pretty hard to beat if you ask us.
Head to the Tour page for all the details and ticket links.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Until then, take care of yourselves, and see you all soon!
