Pitchfork: OOIOO to Tour the U.S. in November

You'd think that being the drummer for Boredoms would be more than enough unadulterated mayhem for one person, but not so for Yoshimi P-We. During the seemingly eternal Boredoms hiatus (perhaps to come to an end with this week's release of Seadrum/House of Sun?), and with Kim Gordon's Free Kitten sleeping soundly, P-We's side project OOIOO has given her something to do whenever she's unoccupied with more pressing concerns.

OOIOO reportedly put on quite a show-- reports have detailed the band slathering themselves in luminescent bodypaint, fluttering like moths, and generally exerting enough energy to power Tokyo for a fiscal year. Although Kill Rock Stars has issued their self-titled debut, and Thrill Jockey released their latest installment into experimental strata, Kila Kila Kila, not all of their releases are stocked in the US of A, and like most Boredoms albums, cost a pretty penny for those die hard fans who want to dish out the dough. However, they are playing select dates in the U.S. this November, so you too will have a chance to drop to the floor and twitch like a wing-ed insect. The scenes of the crimes:

11-05 San Francisco, CA - Bottom of the Hill
11-06 Los Angeles, CA - Knitting Factory
11-09 Chicago, IL - Empty Bottle
11-11 Philadelphia, PA - Unitarian Church
11-12 New York, NY - Knitting Factory
