Here’s a classic joke. A blown-out noise-pop duo, a Brooklyn black metal outfit, and a hedonistic globe-trotting DJ walk into a bar… in Florida. There are only dumb things that can end that joke. In real life, it’s less a joke involving a bar and more a tour that is actually happening involving a bit more than a handful of venues… in Florida. Before the release of their sophomore effort Reign of Terror, Sleigh Bells (you know, the blown-out noise-pop duo!) are going on a short tour with Liturgy (you know, the Brooklyn black metal outfit!) and Diplo (you know, the hedonistic globe-trotting DJ!).
All that noise making and carrying on is going to get annoying eventually. That’s why Sleigh Bells are dropping off that dead weight in Diplo and Liturgy after those few dates. Those guys are such dead weight ugggggggggghhhhhhh. Sleigh Bells will play roughly another handful of dates unencumbered, apparently targeting only major cities. You know, like New York! And L.A.! And Toronto! The majorest!
By the way, Sleigh Bells’s Treats (TMT Review) follow-up, Reign of Terror, is still coming out on February 21 through Mom + Pop Music. It still has a title that sure sounds like a Sleigh Bells title. Hear the first single, “Comeback Kid,” below.
