Philadelphia’s Dead Milkmen recently finished recording their first new album in more than 15 years, a record tentatively titled ‘The King in Yellow’ that’s expected out sometime this spring.

For the first time in 20 years, The Godfathers will tour the U.S. in February, a 10-date trek that includes the U.K. rockers’ annual St. Valentine’s Day Massacre — which we’re thrilled to announce as the first Slicing Up Eyeballs Presents concert — at Santo’s Party House in New York.

Last night, Talking Heads spinoff Tom Tom Club dropped by ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’ in advance of tonight’s concert at Irving Plaza in New York, a show being billed as something of a 30th anniversary celebration for the band.

Tonight’s episode of Slicing Up Eyeballs on Strangeways Radio featured new music by Claudia Brücken, R.E.M., Throwing Muses and Wire, plus songs by The Stone Roses, Depeche Mode, Pop Will Eat Itself and The Perfect Disaster.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark will bring its ‘History of Modern’ tour to North America in March for a 16-date trek booked around the South By Southwest festival — the classic lineup’s first U.S. concerts since opening for Depeche Mode’s ‘Music for the Masses’ tour.

Like clockwork, our MBV Watch feature notches another entry as a sharp-eyed reader points out that HMV is now listing the long-rumored, barely-believed reissues of My Bloody Valentine’s two albums — 1988’s ‘Isn’t Anything’ and 1991’s ‘Loveless’ — as coming out March 14.

With their first all-new studio album in 15 years due out in two weeks, reunited post-punk icons Gang of Four this morning debuted the music video for their single ‘Never Pay for the Farm.’
