According to Matador Records, Techno Animal are gearing up for their first ever U.S. tour beginning early next month. Kevin Martin and Justin Broadrick, the duo that gave birth to the warped electronic noise that makes Techno Animal so loveable, will be opening for the abstract NY hip-hop Def Jux crew (El-P, Aesop Rock, Cannibal Ox and Mr. Lif) throughout the tour. They'll most likely be joined on stage at times by some of the MC's, who will appear on their forthcoming album, The Brotherhood of the Bomb. Some confirmed dates for August are:

08-08 New York, NY - Frying Pan
08-09 Detroit, MI - St. Andrew's Hall
08-10 Chicago, IL - Subterranean
08-13 Los Angeles, CA - Knitting Factory
08-15 Oakland, CA - Mom's Cookie Factory
