Broadcast Launch North American Tour


Broadcast
Outer space never sounds quite so sexy as when Trish Keenan and James Cargill, the remaining members of UK moon-shooters Broadcast, do their sci-fi-electro-ambient-clatter-pop thing for all the cosmic club kids. Charged about touting their latest LP, the skittish Tender Buttons, Keenan and Cargill embark today on a 21-date trek across the U.S. and Canada.

The Warp Records mainstays will literally carve an ellipse of electronic bliss into North America on this tour, which begins and ends in California. By the time this trip is over, the buttons onBroadcast's keyboards & synths should be plenty tender. Wow, that's terrible. Brooding folksters and labelmates Gravenhurst (supporting the just-released Fires in Distant Buildings) join them for all dates.
