The Gris Gris will have further business to attend to once the tour wraps up. They've scheduled a handful of early September dates in the UK, and their second album, entitled For the Season, will be released through Birdman on November 16. Eternally devoted to the sonics of fellow Texan mind-scramblers the 13th Floor Elevators and early Red Krayola, the album will be divided into two "sides," one being a six-song suite. Of course, if you actually flip the CD over to side two, your CD player will probably self-destruct, so we'll stop using the term from now on.

Possibly because of their shared penchant for suites and song titles in Spanish, the Mars Volta have exercised their curatorial power and added the Gris Gris to their All Tomorrow's Parties festival lineup in East Sussex, England in December. (Other Partiers include Diamanda Galas, Lydia Lunch, the Kills, Dungen, Les Savy Fav, Acid Mothers Temple, Antony and the Johnsons and Saul Willams.) While it was certainly nice to see Greg Ashley play older songs using a beer bottle for a slide, look for these songs to make their way into future live performances:
