This week’s round-up of Slicing Up Eyeballs headlines includes news about Dexys Midnight Runners, Fad Gadget, Dalis Car, The La’s, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Morrissey, Dinosaur Jr, Killing Joke and The Godfathers — plus news of The Jesus and Mary Chain’s return to the U.S. this spring.

With their annual St. Valentines’s Day Massacre concert coming up next week in London, The Godfathers over the weekend posted a rough mix of brand-new track ‘Primitive Man’ the third new song the rockers have released since reuniting in 2008 — which you can stream here.

When The Godfathers hit Chicago last week on their first U.S. tour in 20 years, the band stopped by radio station KDHX to record an in-studio session. Hear the four-song set and a 15-minute interview here.

This week’s new releases include Sonic Youth’s experimental French film soundtrack ‘Simon Werner a Disparu,’ plus a pair of reissues from The Godfathers (‘Birth School Work Death,’ ‘More Songs Above Love and Hate’).

The first U.S. tour in 20 years by The Godfathers apparently has been curtailed by visa problems, as the U.K. band today announced an abbreviated schedule that drops three of the first four scheduled shows and moves a Chicago date to the end of the trek.

The Godfathers today released their first new single since 1995 — a 4½-minute rocker called ‘Back Into the Future’ — and next week will release expanded reissues of 1988’s ‘Birth School Work Death’ and 1989’s ‘More Songs About Love and Hate.’

With The Godfathers mounting their first U.S. tour in two decades next month, we’re thrilled to present the band’s St. Valentine’s Day Massacre show — and we’re giving our readers a chance to win tickets to see the Feb. 14 gig at Santos Party House in New York City.
