Our erstwhile compadre Chris Forsyth is heading out on tour right now. And if you need a reason to go see him, check out this Daytrotter session that just went live. Chris and the Solar Motel Band even take on the title track from the FV album Paranoid Cat. 

Here are the tour dates: 

3/31 Cleveland, OH @ The Euclid Tavern
4/1 Chicago, IL @ The Empty Bottle
4/2 Iowa City, IA @ The Mill
4/3 Lafayette, IN @ The Spot
4/4 Benton Harbor, MI @ The Livery
4/5 Columbus, OH @ Wild Goose Creative

Wish we could have made it: return of Haunted House (Loren Connors, Suzanne Langille, Andrew Burnes and Neel Murgai) last night in lower Manhattan at Sugarcube as part of Northern Spy's five-year anniversary celebration. Those lucky to attend reported "Frankie and Johnny" and "Blue Ghost Blues" were, as expected, monstrous live. Photo by Erstwhile Records' Jon Abbey.

Not much else to add cause Phil Freeman at Burning Ambulance nails down Kid Millions & Jim Sauter's Fountain as "one of the more ass-kicking records of the year." We think that proclamation extends into 2015 too. Read more here.

Now is the time to preorder Fountain, the blasted collab of drummer Kid Millions and saxophonist Jim Sauter. The LP is out worldwide Dec. 2nd. Over at the NPR's All Songs Considered blog, Lars Gotrich debuted the track "Game Jump" and aptly described it as:

"Sauter issues a brief warning that sounds something like a zombie-infested cruise ship bellowing its final notes before it plummets into a blood-freezing ocean. Then it's on. Sauter stabs at his feedback-ridden sax while Millions enters a manic headspace with his hydra-armed drum work ... This is improvised mayhem, but it seems to grin from ear to ear."
