James Murphy has updated fans on the status of
LCD Soundsystem. In a post to Facebook, he explains the reasoning behind their recent residency agreements - which come to London later this year - their appearance on Saturday Night Live, and their upcoming 20th anniversary.
Speaking about the traditional touring schedule, he explains: “You invest so much time, energy, and cost into ‘getting ready’, that you wind up touring for ages just to make it worthwhile… then you need a big break again. then you are reluctant to start all over again. it’s a cycle.
“We really wanted to stop living like that, so we talked about just playing some shows in new york, since most of us live here, and not making it too big of a deal.
“like, just playing because we like it, and because we like one another. just be a new york band for a bit. and maybe we’ll do something like that every year. just stay in shape, if that makes sense. and just make records along the way. maybe just singles for a while, so there isn’t some ‘album panic’ etc.
