UK’s Editors make their way to Tempe for a show at Marquee Theatre in Tempe with Hot Hot Heat and Louis XIV on Tuesday night. (Buy tickets.)

I interviewed bassist Russell Leetch and wrote a bit about it here. Favorite quote, after I asked him how critics differ in England and the U.S.: “We always get totally mixed reviews. We’re not one of those bands people wet themselves over like the Arcade Fire or LCD Soundsystem.”

Also, here’s a flier for the March 8 show I’m putting on with Source Victoria and Birdmonster, among others. Come on out, won’t you? (Click for larger image.)

Elsewhere:

Go to Aquarium Drunkard for an acoustic session with Radar Bros. frontman Jim Putnam.

Mr. Mammoth has a new Cadence Weapon track, Juliann Wilding.

I discovered Phoenix boys The Format are breaking up at I Am Fuel, You Are Friends. Drag.

On the topic of Phoenix, Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World contributed to a song by Belgian electronic artist Styrofoam. Stream My Next Mistake at Styrofoam’s MySpace page.

Lastly, head over to Macktronic for some Cool Kids.
