Pitchfork: MSTRKRFT Launch Tour, Reveal Album Details

MSTRKRFT Launch Tour, Reveal Album Details

Death From Above 1979's Jesse F. Keeler and producer Al-P are set to take a step up from "MSTRKRFT, the Puma Store Party Pair" to "MSTRKRFT, the Real Deal". Let us elaborate.

The remix fiends recently revealed a mob of club shows across North America. While MSTRKRFT won't score free kicks (as seen on their MySpace) from the average venue, they will have the pleasure of performing for fans who normally wouldn't be able to grab an invite-only guest list slot. Aww.

The trek launches this evening in Edmonton, Alberta and continues on through summer in preparation for July 18, the due date of MSTRKRFT's new record, The Looks (note that the release is no longer due June 20, as MSTRKRFT's MySpace proclaims).
