Check It: This This Sunday The Beggars Group Rules The NPR Airwaves 30 May 2008


Thats right - this Sunday, June 1 we are going to have 2 artists featured on NPR!

Jeffrey Lewis newest album, 12 Crass Songs, is out on Rough Trade. He has been on tour non-stop since its release (including a stint with British Sea Power and currently with Los Campesions!) and stopped by the NPR Studios in Minneapolis for a chat with All Things Considered about his album of Crass covers and undoubtedly his other career as the writer/illustrator of comic books.

Be Your Own Pet are also on the road (the Nylon Magazine Music Tour) and stopped by the DC offices of NPR for a sit-down with Weekend Edition. They have an EP, Get Damaged, coming out on XL Recordings June 3 (digitally) and June 24 (in-stores). Get Damaged contains the 3 tracks that were cut from their recent album, Get Awkward (Universal/Ecstatic Peace) for being too violent. So listen to what they have to say about that, touring with She Wants Revenge and their upcoming stint on the Warped Tour.

So check with your local NPR Station to see when they air both Weekend Edition Sunday and Weekend All Things Considered and plan your Sunday brunch plans around that!
