Pitchfork

Caribou photo by Sanchez and Kitahara

This evening in Hamilton, Ontario, the blissed-out psych-pop of Dan Snaith and his Caribou will meet the blissed-out caterwauling crunch of Fuck Buttons. It's the first of a ton of engagements the two will share all over North America over the next couple months.

Carting what's sure to be a truckload of pedals and gadgets and doo-dads along at every turn, Caribou and the bad-word Buttons (recent Best New Music recipients for their head-swimmingly superb Street Horrrsing LP) will make their long honeymoon an overseas affair as well, when the bands share May bills at Barcelona's Primavera Sound Festival and the ATP vs. Pitchfork shindig.

Upon untangling their respective cables, and figuring out which MicroKorg belongs to which person, both bands have quite a few dates on their own.
