Usually more visible along the coast of the Mediterranean or the Baltic, legendary band Tuxedomoon will be making a rare appearance stateside in New York City for one show only at Le Poisson Rouge, 158 Bleecker Street, on 17 September (Le Poisson Rouge is a multimedia art cabaret founded on the former site of the historic Village Gate).

Don't expect to see them repeat poses from their youth as Tuxedomoon seldom look back and, if so, more often than not, choose to refine and distort their past in terms concurrent with their muses of the moment. No room for '80s nostalgia here, their recent compositions feature a wide and surprising variety of styles, influences and themes gathered along their varied journey through space and time. Appearances of Tuxedomoon in the USA are unusual occurrences, there having been only 4 others in the last 21 years. Come be a part of this unique event.

Tuxedomoon's new album "Vapour Trails" happens to come out in the year of the band's 30th anniversary. To mark this occasion, Tuxedomoon & Crammed will also be releasing a limited-edition boxed set entitled "77o7 tm", which will include the new album along with a CD of previously-unreleased archives, a DVD containing 160 minutes of rare or previously-unreleased videos, and a live CD recorded in early 2007.

The DVD will consist of no less than 7 different sections, including the long-deleted "Ghost Sonata" film, a previously-unreleased series of music videos entitled " A Thousand Lives By Picture", an on-the-road-documentary called "Mythical Puzzle", and late '70s-early '80s studio & live video experimentations ("Jet Wave" and "Colorado Suite").

Watch this space for more details, coming up soon.

... will be entitled "Vapour Trails", and will be released in early September !
