Fool's Gold to Attack Spring With Tour, Releases

Just in time for SXSW, the party starters at Fool's Gold have prepared another musical takeover in the form of festival showcases, a tour, and, of course, a ton of singles.

Since they come first, let's start with the showcases. The first of the two is a SXSW showcase at Volume on March 15. In addition to label heads A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs, it will feature the live talents of Kid Sister, Flosstradamus, Chromeo, Kid Cudi, and Jokers of the Scene.

The second showcase takes place March 28 at the White Room in Miami during the Winter Music Conference. At this one, there will be sets from A-Trak, Nick Catchdubs, Sinden, LA Riots, Jokers of the Scene, Treasure Fingers, Sammy Bananas, and Nacho Lovers.

Next is the full-blown tour, dubbed "Screaming Bloody Murder" and featuring A-Trak, Sinden, Steve Aoki, Sammy Bananas, and special guests. The nine-date trek goes down in mid-April.

Finally, there are the releases. Fool's Gold just put out Kid Cudi's "Day 'N' Nite" and Jokers of the Scene's "Y'all Know the Name" singles, and they have quite a few more platters in the works, from the likes of Treasure Fingers, LA Riots, and Nacho Lovers, Trackademicks, Kavinsky, Bag Raiders, and Congorock.

To cap it all off, Fool's Gold is also working on its first label compilation and the co-release with Downtown of Koko B. Ware, Kid Sister's debut full-length.
