Portishead’s Geoff Barrow will be touring with his band BEAK> for a few North American dates in September. Unfortunately, if you don’t reside on either coast, you’ll have to wait. So far, the band has released an album (self-titled) and a single, which besides a new song also includes three live tracks (if you want to know what you’re in for). Both are available digitally at the band’s Bandcamp page. For those who haven’t given the music a spin, imagine a looser jam-session version of Portishead’s album Third (TMT Review) minus Beth Gibbons’ vocals, which makes sense considering both the album and the single were recorded without overdubs in a single studio room.

09.03.10 - New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom
09.04.10 - Monticello, NY - All Tomorrow’s Parties
09.07.10 - San Francisco, CA - The Independent
