Legendary Scottish psychedelic dance rockers Primal Scream have recently shared a video for the track “Goodbye Johnny” (watch below). The song is from the band’s tenth studio album More Light, released on June 18.
The Bobby Gillespie fronted band also revealed that they will be returning to the U.S. in late spring 2014 for a twelve date run. The band played six California dates back in October, which I unfortunately missed out on. The possibility for Coachella exists as the band is playing Mexico City’s Vive Latino Festival in late March, and their U.S.tour “begins” April 30 in Houston, Texas (see dates below). Primal Scream is on my short list of Bands That I Need To See Live.
In other related Coachella news this week:
Dum Dum Girls revealed that their appearance is likely based on their tour “ending” on April 8 in San Francisco. However, you’ll have to wait and see on this one, since the tour does hit West Coast cities early on.
Watch the “Goodbye Johnny” video here:

Canadian indie rockers Tokyo Police Club have returned to the scene after a brief hiatus. The last we heard from TPC was way back in 2010 when they released their sophomore album Champ.

The four piece dropped a preview of things the come in the form of a 9-minute video for the lead single “Argentina (Parts I.II.III). Word is a U.S. tour is set to commence next spring… These dudes are fun!

Without even an official whisper from the band concerning the termination of touring bassist Kim Shattuck, earlier this morning the Pixies announced her replacement. The band revealed that Paz Lenchantin will be the bassist on their forthcoming 2014 tour in North and South America, and Europe. Lenchantin, whose resume includes A Perfect Circle and Billy Corgan’s (Smashing Pumpkins) side project Zwan, takes over for the recently departed New Kim and original bassist Old Kim. Although it can’t be confirmed, we can only assume that Ms. Lenchantin’s middle name has to be Kimberly.
Drummer David Lovering addressed the Lenchantin hiring in an email sent to fans earlier today:
In addition to the bassist announcement, the Pixies also unveiled yet another video, this time for the EP-1 track “Another Toe In The Ocean” (watch below).
I look forward to seeing Paz in Phoenix on February 24, and again Weekend 1 of the Coachella Music Festival in April.

Best Coast, the indie rock duo of Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno have released a video for the track “This Lonely Morning.” The song is off the band’s latest effort Fade Away. Rolling Stone Magazine recently named Fade Away as the 35th best album of 2013. The album is actually a Mini LP slash EP, so wouldn’t that make it the #1 Mini LP slash EP of 2013? Best Coast will soon embark upon a supporting spot on the Pixies North American tour.

We’ve officially entered that time of the year when there are more lists being constructed than new music being released. The next time we will see new music is around mid January.
Less than a month after making its U.S. theater premiere, the Shane Meadows film is being released on DVD just in time for the holidays. The film makes a great stocking stuffer, and is available on Blu-Ray, Laser Disc, and VCR Tape as well.

Seems like its been 24 hours of nonstop Sky Ferreira. The indie hipstress began her whirlwind day by performing on Late Night With David Letterman, and then sharing with the world her video for the title track from her recently released debut album “Night Time, My Time.” I’ve given the debut album a few spins… and I must say it’s surprisingly decent. Later in the day the busy beaver released the B-Sides // Part 1 Collection which includes 3 non-album tracks.
The day concluded with Ms. Ferreira announcing that she will not, I repeat will not, be appearing at the 2014 Coachella Festival. Instead, she will accept a supporting role on the Miley Cyrus upcoming arena tour.
