BAIO - "Would You Be Interested In a Mira Tour? Tour 2014 Tour Mix" (Vampire Weekend)
Fresh off their recent Best Alternative Music Album Grammy win, Vampire Weekend bassist Chris Baio has announced a six-date Drake-referencing wordy-titled "Would You Be Interested in a Mira Tour? Tour 2014." BAIO, who's actually the second cousin of Happy Days teen-actor Scott Baio, released his second Electro-Dance EP (Mira) back in October; and to coincide with the tour web-announcement, Chris Baio uploaded a 41-minute DJ mix titled, "Would You Be Interested in a Mira Tour? Tour 2014 Tour Mix" to Soundcloud late Friday morning. While it's currently without a proper tracklist, BAIO's mega-mix includes plenty of unreleased music, off-kilter Dance tracks, Tribal beats, semi-dated House rhythms, etc. But after Shazaming a few random sonic-moments, I was able to identify a handful of interesting artists: Dense & Pika, Bjørn Torske, Meramek, and an extended remix of BAIO's very own Future Classic EP title track, "Mira." Chris Baio added in a brief Soundcloud note that "[he'll] add a tracklist in the next few weeks, as there are some unreleased songs in here." His Would You Be Interested In a Mira Tour? Tour 2014 kicked off on February 1st in France and will then make five consecutive stops in Italy, Washington (DC), Montreal, Denver, and New York with supporting acts Psychemagik and John Talabot on select dates.
