Casiotone for the Painfully Alone: 2 Shows, 2 Release

White Corolla- Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, New Video


Chicago’s Casiotone for the Painfully Alone have announced two all ages shows, a free Manhattan show on Feb. 12 at the Kimmel Center and a hometown show at Subterranean on Feb. 27.CFTPA will also release two full length albums this spring. The first, Advance Base Battery Life, the singles and rarities compilation comes out early March. The second, Vs. Children, the new album with new songs comes out in early April. Spearheaded by Owen Ashworth, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone thrives on a minimalist lo-fi sound.

Ashworth says:

There will be a big Europe/UK tour in April & May in support of both of these releases. In the spirit of duality, I will be performing both a solo electronic set & a full band set at all shows. Concern will support all dates, along with some other extra special guests along the way. Hopefully I'll have those dates for you soon, so keep an eye on that fabulous, fabulous SHOWS page.
