Pitchfork

Looks like today's the day for crazy opening act announcements.

Later this week, at a trio of Lenny Kravitz concerts in Finland and Estonia, things are gonna get pretty weird, pretty fast. For on those three fateful nights, Lenny's audiences will be treated to an opening set from veteran drug-psych epic-makers Spiritualized. Random!

Spiritualized's rather good new one, Songs in A&E, is out in pretty much all the ways it's gonna be now, though the deluxe CD/book and double black vinyl set will hit the States June 17 via Fontana International/Spaceman.

Spiritualized have quite a few dates without Mr. Kravitz, and will hit the States July 20, just in time for their set at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago.
