John Vanderslice Tours Europe
Works on new album

Over a year into Pixel Revolt's acclaimed life, John Vanderslice is still supporting the album on tour. Last night, the Barsuk superman kicked off a fall journey through Europe. He will forge on across the continent with his band Photographs for the next month, before heading solo to Australia with the Mountain Goats at the end of December. The latter set of dates has not yet been confirmed.

In other news, Vanderslice is, according to a press release, "very deep into his next record." He is recording it with bandmates Ian Bjornstad, Dave Douglas, and David Broecker at San Francisco studio Tiny Telephone. Scott Solter is producing the work, which is slated for release sometime in 2007.
