Helado Negro Tours 5 Boroughs + South

Indie supergroup includes members of Yeasayer, Savath & Savalas and Born Heller.

In celebration of the release of Awe Owe (out today, August 4th on Asthmatic Kitty), Helado Negro will take a week long tour of the five boroughs of New York. Starting off in Queens, Helado Negro will bring their sounds to each of the City's boroughs, concluding the tour with a ride on the Staten Island Ferry to play on the mysteriously floating borough itself.

Helado Negro will consist of frontman Roberto C. Lange (voice, guitars, etc.), Jason Ajemian (percussion), Isaac Lekach (guitar, voice and vibes), Jason Trammell (drums), Oliver Chapoy (guitar), Jon Philpot (voice and percusion) and Shannon Fields (guitars, etc.). The band  (sans Chapoy and Philpot) will then hit the tour trail take their music to the southeastern portion of the United States. This band includes members of Savath & Savalas, Yeasayer, Stars Like Fleas, Guy Fantastico, and Born Heller.

While on tour, Roberto Lange will meet up with painter/kinetic sculptor David Ellis in Charlottesville at the Bridge to score a new sculpture by Ellis. Learn more about the opening night for this exhibition here. Ellis also helped out on the new music video for the vastly bearded Helado Negro, which you can see here.

Interested fans may download the new remix by Leb Laze of Helado Negro's "I Wish". Leb-Laze sublets the original and does a little redecorating while his walkman jams So So Def deep cuts and his dog Atomic starts pulling things out of the cupboards. Listen to the Leb Laze remix of "I Wish" here.
