FALL TOUR DATES Y’ALL!

Our new album is still new. It came out in January and a lot has been happening all around us, below, above, side to side. You have the rest of your lives to listen to our new album, “The World Is A Loud Place,” but who knows how many more chances you’ll get to see us perform live. 

Here are some events that might occur that would make this our last tour ever: -mudslide -landslide -electric slide -inter-band romances begin and then crumble -music industry grows vibrant and we all embark on successful solo projects -music industry continues decline and we eat each other in order of height -bad shrimp -van slips on banana peel thrown by car in front of us -plague(s) -trapped under fallen stack of CD singles of Stevie Nicks’ "Landslide" -anything else that ever happened to Fleetwood Mac -old age -new age -low ticket sales** More to come! Check out the dates below, mark your calendar, ask a date and their family too. We’re fun for everyone, and the best band you’ll see in town on any one of these nights, guaranteed, or your money back. LANDLADY FALL DATES: Sept 19- Brooklyn, NY @ Our Wicked Lady Sept 20- Brooklyn, NY @ Our Wicked Lady Sept 29- Minneapolis, MN @ The Ice House Sept 30- Fargo, ND @ The Aquarium * Oct 2- Denver, CO @ The Hi Dive * Oct 3- Salt Lake City, UT Oct 4- Jackson, WY Oct 5- Spokane, WA @ The Observatory * Oct 7- Seattle, WA @ The Vera Project * Oct 8- Portland, OR @ Bunk Bar * Oct 9- Eugene, OR Oct 10- San Francisco, CA @ Rickshaw Stop * Oct 11- Los Angeles, CA @ Zebulon* Oct 17- Tucson, AZ @ Club Congress + Oct 18- Taos, NM @ Taos Mesa Brewery Oct 19 - Sante Fe, NM @ Second Street Brewery - Rufina* Oct 22 - Austin, TX @ Mohawk* Oct 23- Denton, TX @ Andy's Bar* Oct 24- Little Rock, AR Oct 25 - St. Louis, MO @ FOAM* Oct 26- Davenport, IA @ Raccoon Motel* Oct 29- Chicago, IL @ Co-Prosperity Sphere Oct 30- Louisville @ Zanzabar* Oct 31- Nashville, TN Nov 1- Cincinnati, OH @ MOTR Pub* *with Ian Chang opening.

Landlady – Rough Trade NYC – April 21, 2016 Landlady take over a stage to the point of spilling off of it, and their music sounds something like that, too—avant-pop, garage rock, funk, Afrobeat, heady jazz, pushed and pulled, knocked around a bit, sloshing like a too-full cocktail glass sitting on a wobbly table. This is [...]

"Sexmob are one of my favorite bands. As I'm faced with the unexpected task of growing up, it feels reassuring to know that I can still have favorites. It happens accidentally as I grow, that shift, where I think less about my favorite color and more about my favorite day to send my rent in where I know it will be late but not too late. So the electricity that enters the skin when I see a band and realize they're my favorite band is tangible. And I can keep it inside and not let it out, I can let it run my day. I want to let Sexmob run all of my days. I first saw them when I was 18 and last saw them when I was 28 and nothing has changed, because everything changes. They are the most open band I've ever seen, capable of anything at any moment, while never keeping their sights off the target of energy, improvisation, and fun. Fun has a capital F but it's rude to do that mid-sentence. But who cares, I Love this band. And it is a true honor to have them to join us at this show." - Adam Schatz, Landlady This show marks the unveiling of Sexmob’s first self-released limited edition CD, @20, which will only be available physically and at the merch table.

WE HAVE BRAND NEW EP OUT TODAY!!!

Listen/purchase: Heat by Landlady About Heat...

Landlady has been a band for longer than I often consider. It is so, so easy to view the Now as the Most Important and the Only, and for the industry to make one forget the last big thing in support of the Next Big Thing. But the best part of forgetting is getting to remember again. So here we go:

Heat represents it all. Heat is an EP, a smaller thing presumably between two big things. The smallness somehow allows us to envelop more, and to play around on the spectrum of infinite time. 

The first two songs go back the furthest on the timeline of what makes us Us. Two covers by two of the greatests: Sly And The Family Stone and The Talking Heads. The reasons for recording music that you love are dense and vast, but the only one that matters here is that it makes us feel very, very, very good. That attitude transmits through the history of Landlady. It's the only good reason why we do what we do to feel that way we want to feel. And all we can do is try be as good as those who make us feel the greatest. 

Fast-forward to "Birds Of Prey Pt. 1," one of the first songs written by Landlady. Pre-dating our first album and not recorded until the Upright Behavior sessions, it lives and breathes today, here, as a standalone song and as connective tissue, spanning from the early days to the nowadays. The hook was written in the shower. That spans back to the earliest songwriting memories we all have. The beginning of "I'm Afraid" was also recorded during Upright Behavior and didn't quite fit the puzzle. Heat allowed us to add an ending that grows both backward and forward, connecting then to now to tomorrow. It's about when I fell outside my apartment and went to the ER at 3am to get seven stitches in my chin. The scar attached to the song isn’t quite infinite, but it'll definitely last until I decompose.

And with decomposition comes the finale, a remix of “Dying Day,” a song about the fear of death from Upright Behavior. The reworking is done by Martin "Dosh" Dosh who is a risky general. He put his heart into giving this song an alternate universe to grow old in. 

The tendrils spreading to and from Heat are vast and overlapping, complex and true, like us and like you. Dig it. And please, please enjoy the music.

-Adam Schatz, Landlady
