Look Mexico – U.S. Tour / New Digital EP

Look Mexico (Tallahassee, F.L.) hits the road today for a month-long tour of the U.S.

The band’s newly converted veggie oil-powered bus will take them westward for a week of shows in Texas and Oklahoma with Bear Colony before joining up with Fake Problems and Cobra Skulls for eight days of Left Coast shenanigans. Finally, the boys will conclude their national expedition in the Southeast playing shows with The Winter Sounds.

In early October, Look Mexico will take a short break before heading back out for two additional weeks of touring along the East Coast. Eventually, they’ll end up where all Beartrap bands seem to be ending up on Halloween weekend: at The Fest in Gainesville, F.L. More info on those dates soon.

The national tour coincides with Lujo Records digital release of Gasp Asp, the band’s newest four song EP. You can pick it up from iTunes here.

For a limited time, you can grab a free mp3 from Gasp Asp. Check out the first track, “You’re Not Afraid Of The Dark Are You?” here.

Earlier this year, Lujo released The Crucial Collection and is also responsible for unleashing Look Mexico’s awesome debut full-length, This Is Animal Music, upon the world in 2007.

Gasp Asp will be receiving the vinyl treatment very soon as well; a three song seven inch version of the EP will be available in early October. Stay tuned for a pre-order news, as well an announcement regarding the stupid label responsible for this inevitable plastic disaster…

Slingshot Dakota’s latest full-length, Their Dreams Are Dead, But Ours Are The Golden Ghost was released in early 2008. Throughout the record, fuzzy, nimble keys collide with expolosive drum work, triggering heartfelt songs about friendship, community, living on the road and ultimately, following your dreams. Golden Ghost is a unique mix of sweet indie-pop melodies and DIY-inspired enthusiasm, and Slingshot Dakota’s music has never felt so honest and moving. Recorded by Latterman’s Phil Douglas, you can order a copy directly from the band via their myspace page or pick one up at a show.

Listen to Ohio! and the appropriately named Tour Song (Free MP3s)!
