MSTRKRFT ANNOUNCE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR WITH LA RIOTS, LAZARO CASANOVA
UPCOMING FULL-LENGTH STUDIO ALBUM TO COME IN 2008 THE BLOODY BEETROOTS ALSO SUPPORTING ON SELECT DATES
Toronto-based DJ/production duo MSTRKRFT will be hitting North American clubs extensively throughout March alongside fellow critical darlings LA Riots, Lazaro Casanova, and Italy’s The Bloody Beetroots. Since helping pioneer the recent rise of electronic dance music in the US with their 2006 debut LP The Looks (Last Gang), Al-P and JFK (ex-DFA 1979) have taken their heavyweight sound to the masses through several hit remixes (Justice, Para One, Armand Van Helden), frequent international touring, and recently gracing the covers of BPM and DJ Magazine.
MSTRKRFT is currently at work on their follow-up LP to be released in 2008.
The tour is sponsored by Vestal, and The Cobrasnake will also be making appearances in select markets. Tour dates below.
Press on MSTRKRFT:
“Club-ready dance beats, electro-tastic blips and wails, machine-gun blasts, and gravelly synths to move the feet of well-heeled hipsters and dancing queens alike.” -SPIN
“MSTRKRFT’s music is sweaty and thick, convincingly urgent and highly sexual - only it’s full-on house music, glow sticks and all.” -ALTERNATIVE PRESS
“There’s no dingy rock ‘n’ roll club that they can’t turn into a sweaty, over-sexed rave.” -XLR8R
