Streetlight Manifesto are releasing their fourth LP, The Hands That Thieve, April 30, 2013. The band will, head out on tour to support the release worldwide and you can check out the current dates below. You can pre-order the record from the band HERE. The pre-order package bundle has all sorts of extra stuff including acoustic versions of all the songs on the new record. The band are also about to close the door on being a ‘full time touring band.’ There was a long letter about this from them but I honestly didn’t read it. What can I say. I am very ADHD. Tour

The video, directed by Roxy Farhat and Kakan Hermansson, takes a look at images of leadership, maleness and power via a sports setting. And there is dancing. This is a song about fear of intimacy but also, ultimately, about freedom and the fact there is no shame whatever in “girliness.” You can download the single March 12, 2013. The full length will be available April 9, 2013. The Forecastle Festival in Louisville, Kentucky, recently announced this year’s line-up. The festival takes place July 12-14, 2013 at Waterfront Park. Louisville, incidentally, is a nice place to visit. Yes, it is in Kentucky but it isn't anything like an episode of Justified. This year the festival will feature late night shows on the Belle of St. Louis steamboat and at other locations in Louisville. The String Cheese Incident will perform a separate ticketed show at the Palace Theater on July 13. Weekend passes are on sale now. Single day tickets and a daily schedule of artists and other events will be available in April. For more info head to www.forecastlefest.com. CONFIRMED BANDS
