COLD WAR KIDS in the NEWS:

BOSTON SHOW 10/28 - VENUE CHANGE


A week from today the COLD WAR KIDS will be appearing in Boston. The venue was originally slated for The Paradise but has recently been changed for Great Scott's in Allston. To ensure you see the band you should buy your tickets ahead of time if at all possible because the more intimate Great Scotts will likely sell out quickly.

PITCHFORK STRIKES AGAIN

CHARACTER ASSASINATION OF "ROBBERS AND COWARDS"

I guess the cool thing is to dislike great new bands and to tell the world about it. Or at least to unleash a level of middling criticism that would crush less talented groups. Yep, Pitchfork is up to its old tricks. This week the sadly predictable Pitchfork tried to kill the new CWK album.

"It would help if the record lived up even a little bit to the mostly positive notices for Cold War Kids' incessant live shows...." Marc Hogan, Pitchfork.

This Pitchforker spends way too much time reviewing an album he clearly didn't want to like or even listen to in the first place. Talk about missing the point: Hogan blew it. He tried to understand the branch of a single tree but never even saw the forest.

Be sure to read the comments. I posted my feelings.

STREAM THE ALBUM
The Cold War Kids have a cool javascript "ecard" on their page. Just go to this link coldwarkids.com/ecard and click launch and you can stream the "Robbers and Cowards" album. Great quality - Excellent! This is a great way to sell your idiot friends on this tremendous band. One listen and they will be won over

THE INTERVIEW
It looks like my on Again / off Again / on Again interview with the Cold War Kids is going to happen after all. It will come this upcoming week and it will be of the face-to-face variety. That's cause for celebration. I think this will provide a better Q&A than what the fifteen minute over-the-phone session on the band's media day (drive-thru philosophy) would have provided. The interview will appear in two parts... Here and over and my other haunt - Berkeley Place.

COLD WAR KIDS on WOXY
Hear the CWKs play live: The band will be recording a show on WOXY's lounge acts program live on Monday at 1:30 pm. If you can't listen live, no worries - WOXY generally makes tracks downloadable or at the very least provided streamable versions of their shows!
