Junior Boys are currently on their N. American tour & doesn’t stops until November 8th. If they’re coming near you, DONT MISS THEM! I had the opportunity to see them last night & they’re f*cking amazing, everyone was going crazy! Since it’s almost Halloween, fans are strongly encouraged to celebrate the holiday & attend any of the dates in full Halloween regalia (all dates after the jump). Best costumes will be rewarded with shirts & CDs (someone dressed as a fly one yesterday)!

Jeremy Greenspan, one half of Junior Boys, explains the month-long Halloween celebration:

“Part of being a young Jewish kid to me was directing all of your excitement that should’ve been for Christmas towards Halloween. I was obsessed with Halloween as a kid, I waited for it impatiently, lamented it when it was over. All of my childhood obsessions with science fiction, horror stories, weird movies and strange music all seemed to converge at Halloween. I was particularly mesmerized by Halloween specials like Disney’s ‘The Skeleton Dance’ and ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’, and a television show produced in Hamilton called ‘The Hilarious House of Frightenstein’. Even my indoctrination into dance music came from older gothy friends of mine who seemed to see a direct continuation from the spooky sounds of throbbing gristle and skinny puppy to early 90s detroit techno. Such was the Hamilton mentality at the time… who knows….Anyway when it came about that we would be touring around the release of our single called “Bits and Pieces” during October, all sorts of Halloween fantasies started churning up in my mind. So although we couldn’t quite afford full on GWAR style theatrics, we are hoping that people come to the shows in a Halloween kinda mindset (and attire), and help us ring in Samhain all month long.”

The duo of Greenspan & Matthew Didemus released their 3rd album, Begone Dull Care, earlier this year on Domino Records. A new single featuring Modeselektor & Prins Thomas remixes of Begone Dull Care tracks “Bits & Pieces” and “Work” will be released in time for Hanukkah. “Bits and Pieces” will also be accompanied by a new video directed by Stephanie Comilang, Final Fantasy’s visual collaborator.
