Ghostland Observatory readies for tour, new album

Electro-rock outfit Ghostland Observatory is ready to release its third LP, Robotique Majestique, on Feb. 23., and to celebrate, the band has lined up a few live dates. And much like the lovechild of The White Stripes and The Rapture, Ghostland will let you groove to the big beat before leveling you with a massive chorus.

The hard playing duo will kick off the tour in its hometown of Austin, Texas, and will be making a stop at the Langerado Music Festival on March 8 (no surprise, as pretty much everyone in the world is playing there too, including the Beastie Boys, Of Montreal, Dan Deacon, and The Roots).

29 - Austin, Texas @ Austin Music Hall

March:
8 - Everglades National Park, Fla. @ Langerado Music Festival
13 - New Orleans, La. @ House of Blues
