Pitchfork

People of North America, get excited-- it's not often that acclaimed tech house duo Booka Shade grace these shores. After all, Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier are in-demand producers and remixers, with a riveting live act that's won them invitations to festivals the world over.

But don't take our world for it-- scope these jetsetters' 2007 tour itinerary below. After a two-week run on this continent, they bound around the world...for the next six months. Australia. Manchester. Roskilde. Portugal. Greece. Even Serbia, where we thought dancing was banned or something. It's all there. All in support of Movements, Pitchfork's 50th Favorite Album of 2006. And you can witness it first, right up against the booth, making an ass of yourself.
