Beginning tomorrow, DIKEMBE (Gainesville, FL) will team up with good friends You Blew It (Topshelf Records) for a two-week Winter tour of the East Coast. Affectionately titled “Fulfill The Prophecy,” the trek will find both bands playing shows as far north as Boston and Providence with the likes of Dads, The World Is A Beautiful Place and Cattle Drums. For details and other information, see below or click here.
Dikembe is currently putting the final touches on mixes for its 10-song debut full-length, Broad Shoulders, which should see an early Spring release from Tiny Engines on 12″ vinyl and digital formats. The label also just released Athaletics, the debut LP from Wavelets, which features Dikembe front man Steven Gray and bassist Ryan Willems.
To listen to an exclusive song stream from Broad Shoulders, visit AltPress.com, which premiered an early mix of the track “Librarians Kill For That Kind Of Quiet” back in October. You can also watch a live performance of the album closer, “Sorry I Can’t Stick Around,” which was filmed by Jeremy Silveira at Turkey Town in Gainesville, FL.
Earlier this year Dikembe released a free digital EP, Chicago Bowls, to a good amount of blogosphere and message board acclaim.
