This is VERY exciting news! I'll be first in line to see 'em at SXSW. Best not get in my way.

Exclusive: Boy Least Likely To Plan U.S. Release, Tour

Zach Vowell reports:
Ironically or not, it was always hard to imagine The Boy Least Likely To throwing the Best Party Ever exclusively in the UK. It's just not so easy to join in on the whimsy while paying import prices.

Well, release the half-empty helium balloons and break out the crooked party hats, 'cause the boys from Wendover have told Pitchfork that they will deliver their carefully crafted indie-pop debut, The Best Party Ever, to our shores on April 4, on their own label, Too Young to Die. The album will feature the same 12 songs as the UK version, but will also come strapped with a bonus disc of five songs in their first widely available format, boasting such least likely titles as "Every Grubby Little Memory" and "Rock Upon a Porch With You."

Main album tracklist:

01 Be Gentle With Me
02 Fur Soft as Fur
03 Monsters
04 Paper Cuts
05 Warm Panda Cola
06 I See Spiders When I Close My Eyes
07 I'm Glad I Hitched My Apple Wagon to Your Star
08 The Battle of the Boy Least Likely To
09 Sleeping With a Gun Under My Pillow
10 Hugging My Grudge
11 My Tiger My Heart
12 God Takes Care of the Little Things

The Boy Least Likely To will gently nudge U.S. audiences into a frenzy with their first American tour, scheduled to begin at the South by Southwest music festival in March. It will continue into April, and will conclude with a record release party in New York City. Details have yet to be confirmed, but, ya know, it's only a matter of time.

Never heard of this band? Oh, how I envy your innocence! Seriously what was the fuss over these guys earlier in the year?

The closest to unfettered praise they'd get from me would be 'prosaic'.

As for the poll, I'd romp that one like a Mugabe election!

And if you didn't, you could go Idi Amin on us!

Pfffft...I like this band. And the likelihood of Konstantin boarding a flight to the US..well, let's just say, I'd rank it under the "Stranger Things Have Happened" file.

I read this news on PFork the day after my copy of the album came in the mail from an eBay store in the UK.

So, yet again, I'm kicking myself because I paid more than necessary and the US version comes with a bonus disc.

This always, always happens to me. I'm a bit tired of it.

I like this album a lot and I hope they come somewhere close to Boston.

I still don't have the album that I ordered back in August from Neighborhoodies. I know it was hard to get for awhile but this is a seriously shitty way to treat a customer. I might just see if I can get a refund and wait til the US version comes out.
