#Savath & Savalas
Yep, you read that right, Savath & Savalas will also be performing at many of these shows. If you feel like you recognize that name, but know not from where, he also uses the moniker Prefuse 73. I mentioned him recently in a post about the new album by LEYODE, Fascinating Tininess, which Savath & Savalas is featured on.

LEYODE, aka Brooklyn based Yusuke Hama & Laurel Wells, are finalizing a new album, Fascinating Tininess, that will be released on Eastern Developments this June 7th. Described by nialler9 as electronic pop a la Prefuse 73 meets Au Revoir Simone, with a dabble of Stereolab thrown in, comes as no surprise since Eastern Developments is Prefuse 73’s own record label, and 73 himself collaborates on the upcoming LEYODE album, as his secret identity Savath y Savalas. Other guests on the album include Leb-Laze, Patrick Ferrell, REDROOM, among others not yet named.

You can listen to tracks off the album on LEYODE’s mizzlepace….
