Tour Dates: Get Ben’t

When we last checked in with Ben Kweller, the singer-songwriter had recently released his fourth studio album, the country-tinged Changing Horses. The ATO recording artist, whose next album – Go Fly A Kite – is said to be a return to his pop-rock sound, has lined up a late fall club tour that includes three New York City-area performances in his former longtime adopted hometown – with a gig at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ on November 17 and an early and late show at the recently opened Rock Shop in Brooklyn’s Park Slope on the 27th.

If you’re not into a night of Ben’s brand of indie-pop-rock then maybe you’ll be interested in hitting one of these recently announced tours…

Finally, while it’s been four years since DJ Shadow released his last studio album, Outsider, the influential turntablist has recently released a new digital 12″-single in advance of the his new album – which is due out next year.  The Bay Area-based DJ has recently announced that he will hit the road for an 18-date North American tour dubbed Live From The Shadowsphere that will kick off on October 25 at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC and includes a hometown at the Cow Palace in San Francisco on the 29.
