our favorite band debuted this new song, “staircase”, from nigel godrich’s from the basement which will be broadcast around the world july 1st. there hasn’t been a tour announced for king of limbs yet, so this will be our chance to watch them perform the album live. check out the new song below.

the band have released an official statement on their website stating, ” lcd soundsytem are playing madison square garden on april 2nd, and it will be our last show ever. we are retiring from the game. gettin’ out. movin’ on. but for just one more night, we will be playing with friends and family for nearly 3 hours–playing stuff we’ve never played before and going out with a bang. and we’d like you to be there.” we saw this one coming, but it’s a shame indeed. you lucky east coasters better brave the weather and get your butts to what will undoubtedly be an epic departure.

well, meg and jack are ending their rein as rock’s power duo. their website states, “the reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both meg and jack are feeling fine and in good health. it is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way… the white stripes do not belong to meg and jack anymore. the white stripes belong to you now and you can do with it whatever you want. the beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to. thank you for sharing this experience. your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful.” very eloquent kids, very eloquent.

holy shit is right. one of my favorite of favorites announced on their facebook and website today they’ll be reuniting all original members, jarvis cocker, nick banks, candida doyle, steve mackey, russell senior, and mark webber for frackin tour next year AND they will be playing all our favorites. i can barely hold myself back from using all caps. it’s beyond exciting. read the whole message from the band below.
