Pitchfork: Prefuse 73 and Edan Kick Off Tour

Prefuse 73 and Edan kick off their summer tonight, rhymin' and rollin' their way across America. Folks concerned that this is going to be another boring series of lonely-DJ-spinning-his-records appearances have nothing to worry about. Prefuse recently announced via MySpace that his live band is in tow, featuring "d.j. nobody, reminder, leb laze, and the other troops." He later clarified that "the other troops" means "the best fucking drummer on earth." Sounds like "the best fucking drummer on earth" took umbrage to being lumped in with the troops.

After Prefuse wraps up the tour with Edan in June, he recharges his batteries and slaps in a new stylus for an August show in New York City's Central Park.
