YACHT: opening for LCD Soundsystem
LCD Soundsystem's upcoming tour in May has had a few changes at the last minute. Prinzehorn Dance School, label mates of LCD Soundsystem's DFA Records, had Visa troubles and had to cancel on the tour. DFA announced on April 26, "We realize this almost seems cliche by now for overseas bands, but it is the truth. We are truly saddened that they will not be joining LCD Soundsystem on the US tour, but swear they will be back very soon." The tour is moving ahead as planned, instead with YACHT.
YACHT, Jona Bechtolt, is celebrating the release of I Believe in You, Your Magic is Real… on a yacht. The two part party will be in 
Portland, Oregon. The first part of the party will include Juice Team DJs, Bobby Birdman, and YACHT, then the party will dock and move into a museum. DJ Beyonda, E*Rock, Adrian Orange and the Child Slave Rebellion, and YACHT, joined by his band, will perform in the Oregon Museum of Science and Industries.
YACHT will continue on tour with LCD Soundsystem until the May 14 show in New York, New York. The next night, Yacht will perform in Salt Lake City and begin working their way towards Texas. At Emo's in Austin, Tussle will join the tour, and then on June 13 Yacht will play six West Coast shows with Architecture in Helsinki.
Far from the first time that he has worked with these bands, Jona Bechtolt remixed two Architecture in Helsinki songs as well as a Tussle song, on a 13 track remix album, Our Friends In Hell.
