Oneida Tours with Ted Leo, Magnolia Electric Co.
[Posted Friday, October 3rd, 2003 02:00:00 Pitchfork Central Time]
Brooklyn's best punky keyboard/keyboard psychedelic noise show is hitting the road this fall. The band has added a set of dates in the middle/southern regions of this great country to bring you the spazzed-out rock you so richly deserve. They will be joining Mr. Ted Leo and his Pharmacists for several of these dates, and Mr. Jason Molina and his Magnolia Electric Company will make an appearance for at least one show. In addition, Oneida has recorded a new LP, called Secret Wars, with a release date set for January 2004. So get out and enjoy what New Yorkers get on a regular basis (the bastards). Tour dates:
11-08 Cleveland, OH - TBA
11-09 Detroit, MI - Shelter *
11-11 Chicago, IL - Fireside Bowl *
11-12 Bloomington, IN - TBA (w/ Aspera)
11-13 Lexington, KY - Mecca (w/ Magnolia Electric Co.)
11-14 Memphis, TN - Hi-Tone
11-15 Atlanta, GA - Earl
* with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
In related, and bizarre and tragic, but ultimately uplifting testament-to-the-human-spirit news, Papa Crazy, the former singer of Oneida (now with Oakley Hall) suffered a debilitating injury to his right hand in early June, the result of a table saw accident. He lost his right finger and sustained nerve and artery damage to two others. But according to the Oakley Hall website, "Crazee's back." Yep, he's been keeping up with his daily (actually hourly) therapy exercises, which has moved from a strap-on robot hand to rocking the organ with Pagan Baby, an Oakley Hall side project.
Big ups to Papa Crazy for his Willis Reed-like comeback (and for not posting any surgery footage online). Nicely done. Expect the debut Oakley Hall full length in the coming year.
