On December 4, Sub Pop will release the digital single for “Dirty Shirt” + “Leave Me Out” by Toronto’s METZ. These songs were previously only available as a limited-edition 7″ single, and “Dirty Shirt” can now be streamed online via Pitchfork. Additionally, Pitchfork TV will broadcast a live streaming concert you can view on December 19 (at 12:30pm ET) featuring sets from METZ and label mate King Tuff. This video piece gives a glimpse of both the figurative a-side of this single and METZ live in Toronto at the record release show for their 2012, self-titled debut album (see news story November 29).
METZ will wrap up their 2012 tour schedule with a show on December 19 in Brooklyn, NY at the Music Hall of Williamsburg with King Tuff. Then in early 2013, the band will kick off a massive European tour, which begins on January 25 in Athens, GR at Six D.O.G.S. Cultural Center and currently ends on March 12 in Brussels, BE at Muziekodroom. Please find a full list of tour dates below.
In related news, METZ have three new live sessions that feature versions of “Dirty Shirt” & “Headache” to share at this time: A Noisevoxx “Noisemakers” segment, which was recorded in conjunction with “Live at Braund Sound” and “Stereospectacular” (watch here); Slacker Radio (watch here); and Daytrotter (listen here). The latter two performances also include album cut “Wasted”.
METZ, led by the singles “Headache” (Mp3) & “Wet Blanket” (official video), is now available worldwide on CD, LP and digitally from Sub Pop.
