So…I am pissed. One of the people I was looking forward to seeing twice this summer has canceled most of his upcoming tour dates. Argentinian El Guincho will no longer be at the Pitchfork Festival in Chicago, or opening for Atlas Sound at a string of dates, including a free show at South Street Seaport on July 25. Pitchfork reports:
A post to the Discoteca Océano blog filed on his behalf notes that El Guincho is exhausted from the whirlwind 2008 he’s been enjoying and he needs to take some time off. It also says that he hopes to work on new songs and is thinking of incorporating more people into his shows.
Now his tour looks like this:
07-11 Cartagena, Spain – La Mar de Musicas
07-18 Benicassim, Spain – Benicassim Festival
07-20 Chicago, IL – Union Park (Pitchfork Music Festival)
07-26 Los Angeles, CA – Getty Museum
07-28 San Francisco, CA – The Independent
07-22 Toronto, Ontario – The Mod Club
07-23 Montreal, Quebec – La Sala Rossa
07-24 Cambridge, MA – Middle East Downstairs
07-25 New York, NY – Seaport Music Festival
08-08 Oslo, Norway – Oya Festival
08-14-16 Hasselt, Belgium – Pukkelpop
09-13 London, England – End of the Road Festival
