Eagle Seagull, currently on tour with Tokyo Police Club, have just announced that they will be the special guests of the B-52's on their tour this spring. While I wouldn't be excited to see the B-52's necessarily, Eagle Seagull is a band I would highly recommend checking out. If you miss them at SXSW, hopefully you can catch them at one of their shows on their massive US and European tour schedule. I'll be at one of their shows in L.A. next week with TPC at the Troubadour.

Pick up their new EP, I Hate EP's, just released on March 11, which includes one of my favorite ES songs, "I'm Sorry, But I'm Beginning to Hate Your Face". Their 2006 S/T debut album is amazing, and I'm really looking forward to their follow-up, The Year of the How-To Book, hopefully to be released this spring. You can hear some of the new tracks, such as the excellent "You Can't Call Yourself a Secret" on their myspace page.
