Real Estate Extends Tour Cross-Country! Big! Huge! Massive!

For the release of their new full-length, Real Estate's leaving Jersey for a while to tour the country. They've got the van up and running great and have added new dates, extending the span of their tour to reach the mid-west and west coast. Whether it's your first time or your umpteenth time, seeing Real Estate just plain makes you feel good. They closed the Oh My Rockness showcase at Santos Party House last night and it was definitely superfunmakeoutparty. They were stellar. If you're in NYC, catch them at their remaining CMJ shows before they peace.

This is bittersweet for us. P-horse contributor BUNNY recently relocated to Austin and has been waiting for these guys to come out and see her. But Brooklyn and Jersey will surely feel a good bit colder without em.

Mmmm. Smell that? CMJ is in the air!


















Real Estate's LP comes out 11/17/09 on Woodsist.

Track list:
1. Beach Comber
2. Pool Swimmers
3. Suburban Dogs
4. Black Lake
5. Atlantic City
6. Fake Blues
7. Green River
8. Suburban Beverage
9. Lets Rock The Beach
10. Snow Days

What happened to "Basement?" While most of us have already been lovin these tracks for a while already, it's still a highly anticipated release. It means we get a super sweet slew of tour dates. It features newly mastered versions of popular faves "Fake Blues" (demo version but on 4 track) "Beach Comber," and a stellar new version of "Atlantic City"(a personal fave) that is slowed-down and tripped-out, and streamable via their MySpace.

VIDEO: Alex Bleeker and the Freakshow @ Glasslands Gallery 09/14/09

Alex Bleeker and the Freaks (Nate "Skippy" Luce) played with Invisible Hand this past Sunday at Glasslands Gallery. Their super chillers set had us feeling like we were sitting around with buds at a campfire, praying the summer never ends. Watch Bleeker channel Jerry and Neil simultaneously, and feel the warmth in the vids that follow. Maybe you'll get that Indian summer you're wishin' for.


"King of the Mountain." Never goin' back to school."Never Goin' Back to School." Bennington love makes me sad sometimes. Bleek's got that nostalgia thing on lock.


"Beneath the Weeping Willow Tree" is a modified Liam the Younger cover. Jersey love for the Underwater Peeps bros.


This is a sad song called "Common Sense."

Watch out for the Freaks album due out in a few weeks on Underwater Peeps, and maybe if you're good, a preview track before then.

And catch Bleeker shredding bass in Real Estate at one of their 10 tour dates Girls later this fall, which he just informed me will include a show in Canada. International, bro, it's hapnun'.
