Deutschland duo Modeselektor are coming to America! It's going to be exactly like the movie Coming to America except with Germans and none of the African-royalty schtick and not a lick of Arsenio Hall. The Berlin-based technocrats bring their precision engineered dance-craft to American and Canadian venues in May before heading back to Europe for non-stop festival action in June and July.

Besides dance parties and a nation of legalized handguns, Modeselektor gushes on their website that the trip to America includes "a techno barbecue" in Detroit where they'll get to "roast some Berlin sausages-- hmm, yummy, home sweet home!" Who says America doesn't know how to entertain her guests?
