While this isn’t really new news as this was announced back in August, I thought it was worth mentioning as I’ve ordered tickets for it. The always entertaining Lyrics Born is on another leg of what appears to be three years of touring for Later That Day and the complimentary Same !@#$ Different Day. This time with Cut Chemist in tow. Last year LB toured with a full band reproducing the mix on the albums. I have an e-mail into LB’s agent to see if he will be touring with a band this time, or– hopefully– using Cut Chemist on the decks. Cut Chemist– formerly of Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli– is touring in support of his first album The Audience’s Listening, which in some respects should have been the album his partner in Brainfreeze crime DJ Shadow released recently instead of the very mixed bag that Outsider is.

My wife is a huge fan of the two Lyrics Born albums so we will be catching the show in Minneapolis at the Foundation. This location was the Rogue back in the day and one of the great clubs in Minneapolis. It closed in the late 90’s and abandoned for a long time. It was revived last year as the swanky Level. In July it was rechristened Foundation.

Also appearing on some of the dates is Pigeon John, who was signed to Quannum by Lyrics Born. His new album and his first on Quannum Pigeon John and His Summertime Pool Party was released recently. I haven’t had a chance to hear it, but I really liked his previous album Pigeon John Is Dating Your Sister.
