I think the only way to properly celebrate the end of a 3 month long tour (aside from lots of sleep and homemade food) is to play one of the premiere music festivals around. A Sunny Day in Glasgow will end their latest tour this weekend with two performances at Barcelona’s Primavera Sound Festival. You can catch the band on Friday May 28th @ the Pitchfork Stage at 6:00pm and on Saturday May 20th @ Parc Joan Mirò at 3:00pm.

More info can be found here and here.

For those of you unable to attend Primavera you can listen to their performance on WFMU 91.1fm on Friday at 3:30pm EST.

A Sunny Day in Glasgow kick off their epic three month long tour tomorrow at Mercury Lounge in NYC. Along the way they’ll stop in Austin for SXSW where they will be playing a bunch of free shows. The tour will culminate with a performance at Primavera in Barcelona.

In addition, they will be releasing a digital single on November 10, 2009. “Shy” is one of the standout tracks from A Sunny Day in Glasgow’s critically acclaimed sophomore album. And “Walking Pneumonia” is the foundation for “Shy” - a Kompakt-esque minimal techno track whose looping vocals give way to a wall of washed out noise. WP was previously only available on vinyl. The single is rounded out by the band’s own remix of “Curse Words.”

1. Shy
2. Walking Pnuemonia
3. Curse Words (A Place Where We Can Hide For A Little Bit Mix)
