Finally — we’ve got (almost) complete dates and venues for the upcoming ’68 (ex-The Chariot) tour with Listener and The Homeless Gospel Choir this summer. It’s called the “I Went on Tour and All I Got Was This Tour, Tour.”
If you’re looking for an intense soundtrack for your summer months, you may just be in luck with the debut album from ’68. The new band of former The Chariot frontman Josh Scogin will be putting out their first record in July, and it’s a slight departure from his previous band. Like we said before, ’68 is like Scogin’s own version of The White Stripes.
Imagine former The Chariot frontman Josh Scogin playing in The White Stripes — then you’ve got a pretty good idea of his new band ’68. We’ve been talking all about ’68 since they put out their EP, Midnight, and we’ve got high hopes for their upcoming debut album In Humor And Sadness, which comes out this summer.
Josh Scogin gave us some interesting insight on music journalism when The Chariot did an interview at Bonnerhaus a few years ago. He mentioned At The Drive-In and how when they were huge, the media only talked about their small shirts, tight jeans, and afros. “They DO write good music!” he said, adding that “You can read entire articles now a days…about all these external things, and they never mention music.”
