Menomena Raise "Hell" on New Single, Tour

The last time Menomena went to Europe, drummer Danny Seim couldn't shut up about it. In fact, Seim penned a 7,500+ word diary chronicling the charms of touring the continent for Portland paper Willamette Week.

So what manner of long distance all-access can be expected for Menomena's forthcoming European tour? 15,000 words? A 24/7 live video feed, shot from a Seim-mounted helmet cam? Detailed accounts of board gaming with R&B royalty? Or maybe just some loop-rocking live shows?

The tour kicks off February 26 in France, just a day after Cityslang issues a download-only UK single for Friend and Foe's "Rotten Hell". They mean single, too, as the tune flies solo, with no B-sides.

Seim's solo project Lacktherof recently issued its eighth LP. Gosh, and Menomena only have three albums? Slackers! I expect a 7,500-word report on my desk by the end of March.
