Bikini Kill have announced that they will be postponing their upcoming three shows in Silver Spring (July 11 and 12 at The Fillmore) and Philadelphia (July 13 at Franklin Music Hall) due to a member of the band testing positive for COVID. The band announced this in a statement on Twitter that reads, "Unfortunately due to a member of Bikini Kill testing positive with Covid, we will be unable to play our upcoming shows in Silver Spring (tonight, tomorrow) and Philadelphia. These three shows will be postponed with more info on the rescheduled dates coming soon. Please contact your local venue for any questions regarding your tickets. We are hopeful that the remaining dates will still happen as planned." The band cancelled five US shows in June and cancelled their European tour also due to a positive COVID case in the band.

Music: The Mountain Goats: "Wage Wars Get Rich Die Handsome"

The Mountain Goats have shared a new single, "Wage Wars Get Rich Die Handsome." It will appear on Bleed Out, due out August 19th via Merge Records. John Darnielle had this to say about the record: When I write an album that revolves around a theme, it usually takes two or three songs before I notice what's going on. There's always one song that becomes the ‘might as well dive all the way in’ song and on Bleed Out that song was ‘Wage Wars Get Rich Die Handsome,’ written while watching a French action movie way past my normal bedtime. Once I had the chorus of this one I started asking myself the kinds of questions that usually end up shaping the album: What if I just wrote all the songs on guitar? What if I leaned into the uptempo ones? In recent years I shy away from the fist-punch no-brakes anthemic style but here I figured, you know, no point just wading around in blood if I'm aleady in knee-deep. You can find the track on a number of services here or just click below to check out the song. The band announced a bunch of tour dates as well. Those can also be found below.
