On the heels of recently announced appearances at the Coachella and Sasquatch festivals, instrumental-act Explosions in the Sky have disclosed the first confirmed headline dates of the new year in their ongoing "Take Care, Take Care, Take Care" world tour.
Live concert photos from San Francisco's fifth annual Treasure Island Music Festival on Saturday and Sunday, October 15th and 16th including such names as Death Cab For Cutie, The Hold Steady, Dizzee Rascal, Cut Copy and Explosions in the Sky.
Photos of Death Cab for Cutie during the summer leg of their "Codes and Keys" tour, at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville last night (8/10).
Photos from day three (8/7) of Lollapalooza 2011 at Grant Park in Chicago; Foo Fighters, The Cars, Deadmau5 and Explosions in the Sky among others.
Following the group's in-progress summer schedule, instrumental post-rock act Explosions in the Sky will set out on a fall club and theater tour in support of its latest effort, "Take Care, Take Care, Take Care."
There's nothing really new to be found in the post-rock mines at this point; years of exploration via teams of intrepid adventurers carting loads of undulating guitars and cascading drum fills have proven that the best that can be hoped for now is to simply polish the form as best as possible, like a diamond. 
SoundSpike's free MP3 download for Friday (4/8) is "Trembling Hands" by West Texas quartet Explosions In The Sky. The featured cut is from their forthcoming album, "Take Care, Take Care, Take Care" available April 26 on Temporary Residence Ltd.
