There’s been talk of James Murphy shutting down LCD Soundsystem as a touring band for the past year. I heard that this was coming a few weeks ago from a reliable source and now this morning there are reports that posters are up around the city announcing the bands final show will take place at Madison Square Garden on April 2nd. Liquid Liquid and special guests will support. While you can never really trust a band to stay retired these days, this seems to indicate that, at the very least, this will be the start of an extended break from touring. Pour out a little liquor in honor of Nancy Whang, Pat Mahoney and Gavin Russom. No info on tickets yet. Photo above courtesy of BrooklynVegan.
Update: Tickets will go on general on-sale on February 11th. Check back here. There will also be some pre-sale info announced on February 8th. Check out the bands site for that.
