Pitchfork

Rollie Pemberton will put on his Cadence Weapon costume (high-tops and a Charles Barkley jersey, last time we checked) and venture out of Edmonton this winter and spring on a tour with fellow Canucks Born Ruffians.

The jaunt is in support of the former Pitchfork scribe's sophomore full-length, Afterparty Babies, which comes out March 3 in Europe (Upper Class/Big Dada) and March 4 in the U.S. (Upper Class/Anti-/Epitaph) and Canada (Upper Class/EMI). "House Music", the record's first single, will hit digital retailers on February 12.

Currently, all of Cadence Weapon's dates are in North America, but a short UK and European tour is planned for mid-February.
