Wow, The Go! Team Covers..... Sonic Youth?




So I woke up this morning to a bulletin from the Go! Team on myspace with the headline: new go! team song bull in the heather + summer touring..... Needless to say that's 2 of the best things I've heard today already. I would not have thought Bull in the Heather would be such an awesome song for the crew to cover, but they do a fantastic job with it. The opening chant almost seems like one of their usual team cheers. Its a pity that they do not have this song for download, but it can as always be streamed from their myspace page. The second part of this news is tour dates. Here's their summer tour schedule:

The UK dates:

Jul-08 - Oxegen Festival - Ireland (Green Room - second to last on )
Jul-09 - T in the Park - Scotland - (King Tuts Tent- second to last on )
Jul-22 - Ashton Court - Bristol - Headlining
Aug-19 - V - Chelmsford (JJB Arena - second to last on )
Aug-20 - V - Stafford (JJB Arena - second to last on )

The US dates:

Jul-28 Twin Lakes, WI HedgePeth Festival - USA
Jul-29 Morrison, CO Red Rocks Amphitheatre - USA - supporting The Flaming Lips and Ween - USA
Jul-30 Lawrence, KS Granada - USA
Jul-31 Omaha, NE Sokol Underground - USA
Aug-02 Indianapolis, IN Music Mill - USA
Aug-03 Cuyahoga Falls, OH Blossom Music Center - USA
Aug-04 Detroit, MI Magic Stick - USA
Aug-05 Chicago, IL Grant Park / Lollapalooza - USA
Aug-06 Milwaukee, WI Pabst Theatre - USA - Supporting Sonic Youth
Aug-08 Toronto, ONT Kool Haus - Canada - Supporting Sonic Youth

So I guess I have a choice of either going to Red Rocks or to Chicago to see them. Sucks they are not going to be any closer to PDX for the time being. The cover makes a bit more sense when you see them touring with Sonic Youth.
