Asleep at Heavens Gate, their debut for Brushfire Records, was produced by Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Sleater Kinney, Elvis Costello). There are also some special guests on the record. Matthew Caws from Nada Surf sings on a couple of songs, John Vanderslice contributes in spots, Snowblink's Daniela Gesundheit sings on a few tracks, Dominic East of Our Lady of the Highway also lends some vocals and Bill Cameron of the Winechuggers plays keyboards on "Ghost." You can get the Feist dates and check out some sounds on their

Quicktime. The new record hits stores September 18th and look for select US dates to be announced for this fall, followed by a full scale US tour next spring.
Dweezil Zappa has added more dates to his Zappa Plays Zappa tour, including a return engagement for
another Halloween in New York City. This year's Halloween event moves to the Beacon Theatre, but should be full of treats like last year's. One such treat will be the addition of Ray White to the band. White is a vocalist/guitarist who toured and recorded with Frank Zappa on various records, including
Tinsel Town Rebellion,
You Are What You Is and
Zappa in New York, on which he sang lead vocal on "The Legend of the Illinois Enema Bandit."
