With their third album “CRUSH” due for release 20th September on Bella Union records, ABE VIGODA have just announced three UK live dates for October, headlining Cargo in London and Audio in Brighton before returning to London to join old pals No Age as special guests at XOYO… dates/info below…

Tuesday 12 October – LONDON – Cargo (£8)

Wednesday 13 October – BRIGHTON – Audio (£8)

Thursday 14 October – LONDON – XOYO (with No Age)

Those who clocked Abe Vigoda’s transition from 2006’s debut Kid City to 2008’s startling tropical-punk “Skeleton” should know the LA quartet aren’t ones for repeating themselves. To Skeleton’s hot-hot-hot template, they now add glassy shards of ‘cold wave’ pop, with synthesisers, sequencers and altogether broodier beats. From the pell-mell pop of ‘Sequins’ to the New Romantic crush of ‘Throwing Shade’ and the title track’s MBV scree, “Crush” is a thermal column of vertiginous brilliance! http://www.myspace.com/abevigoda
