RATATAT
Back to tour free…
After three albums – 2004’s RATATAT (with Seventeen Years), 2006’s CLASSICS (with Wildcat), and 2008’s more recent LP3 (with Mirando and Shempi)… and completion nearing on LP4.
And remixes for Bjork, The Knife… their reknowned bootleg hiphop remix series to remixes of their own material by Animal Collective, Yacht…
From supporting Daft Punk at the LA Sports Arena in June 2007, to tours with Björk, Daft Punk, Mouse on
Mars, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, CSS, The Faint, Super Furry Animals, Clinic, Panther and The Killers… and Mogwai in Japan… along with their own outstanding headline tours including the 2005 Australia/NZ debut tour, and the Essential Festival and dates with Regurgitator in 2007.
“the coolest unconventional musicians of 2008 – there’s no doubt this is genius at work” (Rip It Up)
“The hallmark of Ratatat’s genius is their willingness to process the absolute hell out of their guitar sounds, warping them almost beyond recognition to create a blueprint for the progression of music for decades to come” (Time Out Sydney)
Evan and Mike navigate their unique sonic hover crafting a free flowing chromatic wave of guitars, keyboards, beats, smoke and mirrors back to add another overwhelming layer of atmosphere with TOUR3.
This tour will also include for the first time shows in China, Hong Kong… and more if the wind allows it.
