There aren't many things more soothing on a stressful day than the peaceful, chug-a-lug of Fujiya & Miyagi's Krautrock-influenced beats*. This is a good thing, especially for the fair citizenry of 16 North American cities, each of which will get the F&M live treatment this fall, beginning on September 25. No word on new material from the Brighton trio just yet, but hopefully time on the road will encourage the guys to compose a proper follow-up to 2006's thoroughly enjoyable Transparent Things.

25 - Baltimore, Md. @ Ottobar
26 - Philadelphia, Pa. @ Johnny Brenda's
27 - New York, N.Y. @ Bowery Ballroom
28 - Brooklyn, N.Y. @ Music Hall of Williamsburg

* Yes, we know there are actually probably countless things that are more soothing than this band's music. This and this, for instance. It's called hyperbole, smartass.
