Neo-primitivists Gang Gang Dance are hitting the road for an extra-brief tour at the end of October where they'll be testing out material that's scheduled to appear on their follow-up to 2005's God's Money. Word had it, the material is going to be dance oriented, noise related melodically layered chaos. You can be the judge of that for yourself at one of the following dates:
10-25 - Baltimore, MD '' Ottobar 10-26 '' Columbus, OH '' Little Brother'''s 10-27 - Chicago, IL - Empty Bottle 10-28 - Minneapolis, MN - Walker Art Center 10-29 - Milwaukee, WI - Shank Hall 10-30 '' Oberlin, OH - Oberlin College 10-31 - Toronto, ON - Lee'''s Palace 11-01 - Montreal, QC '' La Sala Rosa 11-02 - New York, NY '' Webster Hall
After the tour, the band plans on shutting themselves into a studio in Kentucky and hammering out the album. That's not all these Brooklynites hae on tap though. In January, they'll be releasing a DVD Retina Riddim. It's billed as a "full on visual onslaught" and will feature new Gang Gang Dance material. After the jump, you can watch an exceprt of the DVD.
