This sunday August 29th, 2010 Yacht will be performing at the Hollywood Bowl with Chromeo and the legendary Chemical Brothers. Backing him up will be a Vice Cooler (Hawnay Troof/XBXRX) curated drum-line featuring Jacob Cooper (Signals/Bark Bark Bark), Robert Barber (High Places), Butchy Fuego (Pit Er Pat/Boredoms), and Kyle Mabson (XBXRX, one million joke bands). The boys will also be joined by an all-girl choir and dance troupe as well as Bobby Birdman on Bass. Tickets seem to start at about $100 but for anyone interested they can purchase them here. PS The Chemical Brothers are going to rule.

Hawnay Troof’s tour brought him around the world and back. Somehow between that, directing music videos for his band XBXRX and friends Deerhoof, drumming for the Raincoats and Chicks On Speed, he self-directed his new video for “Everything Is” off his new album Daggers At The Moon. The song featuring vocals by Jenny Hoyston of Erase Errata and was shot while moving out of his Berkeley house during one of his four days off. The video includes an all cat backup band wearing outfits designed by artist Ari Fish, who also stars in it. Influences run everywhere between Bob Dylan and Keyboard Cat, but make of it what you will.

In case you were wondering what Signals beatmaker and remix whiz Jacob Safari does when his band isn’t wrapping up a new Signals record with producer Brad Breeck of The Mae Shi, now you can. Jacob’s mix leans heavily towards a buffet of classic electronic favorites from The Chemical Brothers to Aphex Twin together with surprising chaotic additions from Converge (mixed with Mr. Oizo?!) and Atari Teenage Riot. The mixtape also features unreleased Signals tracks including a Junk Culture remix of “Silverfish” that will be included on the US digital release of Signals’ “Silverfish/What Dreams/Remixes” via Retard Disco & a Signals remix of Japanese pop-punk band Cubismo Grafico Five’s “Catcher In The Riot”, slated to appear on the band’s upcoming 7″. Tracklist below.
