Might just be time to get your indie-hipster groove on….
The Rapture is apparently “Helping hipsters dance one song at a time.” According to Pitchfork, the Rapture’s latest release, Pieces of the People We Love, includes a postcard with that inscription. While we knew LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy had the new focus of getting indie hipsters to excercise, it seems like the Rapture’s latest goal might be a bit more well-placed. Anyways, I digress.

Also, the band !!! (aka Chk Chk Chk) seems to be on a similar mission to shake some hipster asses, as they have some new tourdates as well. Justin’s got them and some other bands new dates in a nice a mid-week round-up.
As much as I dig these two bands, I’m really hoping disco-punk masters, LCD Soundsystem, add some U.S. gigs to those European dates. C’mon, James, don’t you guys have a new album to promote?
