VHS or Beta Reissue Debut, Tour with Doves, Bravery

Ah, but there is a disco ball of hope on the horizon. Astralwerks, the new home of VHS or Beta, has remastered and re-released the album into the wild as of September 20. The "deluxe" disc features remixes of "Solid Gold" by Freaky Chakra, Bob Mould, and Iz. (Yes, Bob Mould is a club DJ now, didn't you know that?) The remixes were originally released as a 12" on the STIFLE label.

Le Tracklist:

01 Heaven
02 Disco Paradise
03 Solid Gold
04 On & On
05 Flash (live)
06 Teenage Dancefloor (live)
07 Solid Gold (Bob Mould Loud Bomb Mix)
08 Solid Gold (Freaky Chakra Evolution Mix)
09 Solid Gold (Joshua's IZ Solid Gold Mix)

VHS or Beta just recently capped a staggering tour in support of Night On Fire, their 2004 Astralwerks debut; the venture saw them performing alongside the Scissor Sisters, Electric Six and Duran Duran, to name a few. They'll head back on the road this fall, hitting North American venues with Doves and the Bravery, and having one-night-stands with the Faint and fellow Kentuckians My Morning Jacket in their shared hometown.
