Reactivated Canadian New Wave stars Men Without Hats this week announced a late-fall U.S. tour in support of comeback album Love in the Age of War. The Ivan Doroschuk-fronted group plays a handful of early September dates before the full tour, which opens Nov. 20 in Orlando, Fla., and runs through Dec. 1 in Boston.

This week’s Slicing Up Eyeballs show on Strangeways Radio featured new and previously unreleased music from Close Lobsters, Jimmy Cliff and Sugar, plus old favorites from The Mission, Concrete Blonde, Kitchens of Distinction, Oingo Boingo, Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper, and Joe Strummer. Replay at 2 p.m. Eastern Friday.

In a bizarre turn of events, Killing Joke today announced that frontman Jaz Coleman has gone missing after apparently taking to Facebook to malign The Cult and The Mission and proclaim — falsely, it turns out — that the band was pulling out of a recently downsized U.K. tour with the two acts this September.

Demon Music Group late next month will reissue all six albums from the Roddy Frame-led Scottish indie-pop act Aztec Camera in 2CD and single-disc expanded editions, each featuring an assortment of bonus cuts including non-album singles, B-sides, remixes and, in the case of the band’s penultimate album, a full bonus live disc.

The Jesus and Mary Chain’s fall U.S. tour just got a bit longer, as the band has been announced as the headliner — along with Neutral Milk Hotel’s Jeff Mangum — of the Boomslang festival in Lexington, Ky., this September. The brothers Reid play a short run of dates later this week before embarking on the full tour in September.

With the release of their album ‘Love This Giant’ still nearly two months out, ex-Talking Heads frontman David Byrne and singer-songwriter/guitar ace Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent, this week offered up a second sampling of the disc: the horn-laden “Weekend in the Dust,” the second song on the album.

John Lydon will bring his reconvened Public Image Ltd. back to the U.S. for its first North American tour in two years this fall, playing 18 dates in the U.S. and Canada throughout October and into early November, culminating with the previously announced appearance at the FunFunFun Fest in Austin, Texas.

Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper parted ways in 1989 after a string of unlikely MTV and college-rock radio hits — including “Stuffin’ Martha’s Muffin,” “Elvis is Everywhere” and “Debbie Gibson is Pregnant with My Two-Headed Love Child” — but the rambunctious duo will reunite on stage in San Diego this fall.

The Pet Shop Boys have unveiled the artwork and tracklist for their upcoming album ‘Elysium,’ which will be released this September worldwide by Parlophone/EMI in single-CD, double-CD and double-vinyl formats, as well as a “Mastered for iTunes” edition with track-by-track commentary from Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant.

Former Mighty Lemon Drops guitarist David Newton debuted his new band David Newton & Thee Mighty Angels last fall with the five-track Paint the Town EP, and now the group is at work on a full-length album — which we can preview here via the brand-new track “In Love and War,” available as a free download for the next two weeks.

The original five-person lineup of Scottish indie-pop outfit Close Lobsters — immortalized on the NME’s genre-defining C86 compilation cassette — just wrapped up its three-date reunion, and is marking the occasion with a new, ultra-limited 7-inch single featuring two previously unreleased cuts dating back to 1989 and 1990.

This week’s new releases include the final batch of expanded 2CD reissues from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (including ‘Nocturama,’ ‘Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus’ and ‘Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!!’), plus expanded reissues of the first two solo albums from the Communards’ Jimmy Sommerville (‘Read My Lips,’ ‘Dare to Love’).

Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen — who reformed the industrial-metal giant following a blood-draining 2010 health scare — collapsed on stage in Paris on Saturday night and was rushed to an area hospital, where he was ‘diagnosed to have had a full-system collapse due to extreme dehydration and heat exhaustion.’
