Remember last November, when Dillinger Escape Plan came out with Ire Works and you couldn’t wait to see them play it live? And then they canceled the tour because the guitar player broke his foot during a video shoot for “Milk Lizard”?

This is that video.

If you didn’t catch them before the broken foot fiasco, you’ll be glad to know DEP are on tour again and plan to continue on till the end of May. You can also see them February 6th on Late Night with Conan O’Brien.

The release date of their debut, reportedly in the final stages of production, is TBD but expected during summer of 2008, after which the band will embark on an international tour.

humanbell.jpgBaltimore is a strange and enchanting place. Alongside the rampant crime and abject poverty lives a community of artists and musicians as odd and intriguing as you’re likely to find. It’s a city where the line between the urban and rural blurs, where banjo and Jew’s harp are as much a part of the musical lexicon as guitar and drums. Read more
