STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO ANNOUNCE ‘THE LAST TOUR FOR A WHILE’

After almost five years of practically nonstop touring, ska/punk/pop veterans STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO are finally planning on taking a break, but not before hitting the road ONE last time. Ready to kick off The Last Tour For A While Tour, they will be planning on adding a few surprises for these dates (which the band has not revealed yet, but will not be unlike their recent back-to-back full album shows in NYC). “We’ve dedicated ourselves over the last half decade to touring relentlessly and thereby put our ‘real’ lives on hold,” explains Tomas Kalnoky (vocals, guitar). “That changes after our upcoming Northeast America/Canada tour, which runs from September 17 (this week!) until our hometown show at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ on October 4th.”

Supporting their 2007 album Somewhere in the Between on Victory Records, the Streetlight boys have just ended their grueling but raucous fun Summer on the full 2009 Vans Warped Tour. “After this tour, we will be taking a nice long break from touring,” Tomas explains. “We have nothing planned until at least the Summer of 2010, so if you’ve ever wanted to see us live, or want to see us live before mid 2010, come out to one of the upcoming shows!”

In addition, the band has released their second video “Would You Be Impressed?” taken from Somewhere in the Between and animated by Jurjen Bosklopper (http://www.jurjenbosklopper.nl) and, as Tomas has said, “was funded entirely by the band, after our label refused to help us make a second video for our record.” The video can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-UTPKL-UGY.

Q-TIP’S LONG AWAITED ALBUM ‘KAMAAL THE ABSTRACT’ AVAILABLE TODAY

qtipkamaal
Q-Tip’s long-delayed album Kamaal the Abstract, slated originally for release in 2001, is finally dropping today, September 15th, on Battery Records. It’s a daring mélange of soul, supa-cool jazz, head nodding hip-hop, and organic pop magic produced entirely by Q-Tip himself. Kamaal has been re-mixed and re-mastered for sonic impact with a new bonus track added, “Make It Work.”

On Wednesday night, Q-Tip stops by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to perform the track “Barely In Love.” Kamaal the Abstract players Chris Sholar (guitar), Guyora Kats (keys), Sun Singleton (backing vocals) and Kiki Hawkins (backing vocals) will join him as well as members of the house band, The Roots. The show airs at 12:35/11:35pm on NBC.

The entire Kamaal the Abstract album stream and exclusive webisodes featuring stories behind each track can be found on Q-Tip’s MySpace and official website.
