How could a Kelis and Robyn tour get better? Add Dan Black to the mix!

Holy shit! Talk about a great lineup! Not only are Kelis and Robyn touring together, but it looks like they've tapped Dan Black as their opening act. This might be the strongest touring lineup we've seen so far this year. The downside is that the tour is quite brief (only six dates long), but they will all be hitting up New York City's Webster Hall on August 5, and Robyn has even more tour dates without the other acts (all of which are posted below). Oh, and while we're on the subject, while we've already posted extensively on Kelis's upcoming record, it appears that Robyn will also have a new album out soon--Body Talk PT. 1 is out on June 15!

7/23 - Los Angeles, CA - The Music Box
7/24 - San Francisco, CA - Mezzanine

Kings of Leon play Tap Tap Revenge

We haven't played the iPad/iPhone/iTouch game of Tap Tap Revenge, but it looks like a stripped down version of Guitar Hero, and it seems that Kings of Leon are the latest band to get a version of the game dedicated to them.
