I stumbled across their myspace page several weeks ago and found this.

Can't wait for the tour! The Incomplete Triangle was a pretty shocking record for me.

New Lansing Dreiden?!!!!!!!
Tour uh???
!!!

Lansing Dreiden is not a "first time listen -you love it" band...
The incomplete triangle is on my tops ever by now.

I get to NY 3 days after the concert..SHIT.!!!!

Wow, I had kind of forgotten about this band. Have they ever toured before? I hope they fill out more tour dates. I heard they put out an EP before. Anyone heard it?

I remember loving 'Incomplete Triangle' (and still do) but I always think about how Pitchfork undeservedly slammed it.

they're like careless whispers found on a twilight horizon their sound feels like an extension of a new wave band you once might of known in a previous youth.

for the most part they never play live or have revealed themselves up till now, so i'm counting on ya to catch the show for some nice feedback.

yep, the ep is titled a sectioned beam which i might add is pretty rad. notable is the unlisted last track called untitled; very reminiscent of the simple minds -forget about me-.

pichtfork totally went to town on them i believe a lot of it had do with the bands secretive demeanor of never giving interviews or touring which gives off a holier than thou insult in the eyes of pitchfork.

res magazine did a nice short article a couple years back both on their art collective and music. interestingly enough, they did mention the oldest member of the band was like 90 something and ready to pass on, which makes me wonder if this is the same band line up form the last album. the tour flyer reads:

LD Section-ll
(lansing-dreiden)

i'm not sure if this implies a second installation of the band or if its one of their literary references.
