Shabazz Palaces Announce Iowa City Date

I got a tour schedule for Shabazz Palaces last week and Iowa was-as usual-not included on any of the dates.

Suddenly, a note from the revived-from-the-dead Gabe's Oasis that Shabazz has included an Iowa City date in late April.

Mark it: April 25 at Gabe's Oasis in Iowa City.

Here's the rest of the blurb:

"2011 was a stellar year for Seattle’s Shabazz Palaces, the sonic movement of Palaceer Lazaro (Ishmael Butler). The debut release, Black Up, was one of the most critically celebrated records of 2011, landing of the Best of lists at SPIN, LA Times, The New Yorker, Pitchfork and more. Shabazz Palaces has no plans to slow down in 2012, announcing the groups first official stateside touring, kicking off on April 3 in Minneapolis, with European dates predating their North American tour.

To remind you how truly awesome Shabazz Palaces really is, we thought we would share with you the new video for the groups song “Are You... Can You... Were You...? (Felt)“, which was directed by Maikoiyo Alley-Barnes.
