Pitchfork

What good is danceable rock if it can't be remixed? Well, there's always the live show, and a hoppin' one at that. Fortunately, the Bay Area group Tussle can do both, as they began yesterday a short tour backing equally hip-shaking Out Hud before they start their own tour on June 13. Since Pitchfork last reported on Out Hud, they've added three dates to the early June tour with Tussle, plus a July 8 show at Toronto's Beats, Breaks and Culture outdoor electronica festival and an Intonation Festival appearance.

Tussle, for their part, state on their website that they'll be striking out on tour with a new lineup and new songs. We'd assume Vetiver main man and Tussle guitarist Andy Cabic might be missing out on this one, what with all his folksy activity this year, but the only thing for sure is that Tigerbeat6 electro-producers Eats Tapes will be opening up for the second part of the tour.

Eats Tapes will also be among the many artists remixing Tussle's 2004 album Kling Klang. Other notable remixers for this forthcoming Troubleman Unlimited release include the Soft Pink Truth, Les Georges Leningrad, and White Rainbow of Jackie-O Motherfucker. Munk, Coppa, Eamon Ore-Giron, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Christoper Willits, Strategy, Man Against Mountain, and Deadbeat round out the list. There's been no confirmed release date yet announced, but these tour dates are good to go, so get out on the dancefloor:
