From the announcement:

Tom Morello unveiled his debut comic series Orchid, at San Diego Comic Con last night.  From Dark Horse Comics, Orchid is an epic fantasy story set in a dystopian future infused with Morello's class conscious worldview and the politics of street terrorism.  "It's like Lord of the Rings meets Battle of Algiers," said Morello.  "I wanted to craft a story that has the same visceral impact and political clout as the music I've been involved in."  Part Suicide Girl, part Joan of Arc - Orchid is the tale of a 16-year-old street prostitute who learns that she is more than the role society has imposed upon her.  When the seas rose, genetic codes were smashed.  Human settlements are now ringed by a dense wilderness from which ferocious new animal species prey on the helpless.  The high ground belongs to the rich and powerful that overlook swampland shantytowns from their fortress-like cities.  Iron-fisted rule ensures order and allows the wealthy to harvest the poor as slaves. This is the world of Orchid .   The debut issue of Orchid features a variant cover by the well-known and influential street artist Shepard Fairey, with interior art by Scott Hepburn (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic). Orchid will be released over the course of twelve issues with the first issue on sale October 12th, 2011.  Morello has written a score for the series which will serve as a soundtrack to the story. Each song will be distributed as a free rack available with the purchase of each issue.   Morello is also set to release his solo album, World Wide Rebel Songs, on August 30th via New West Records.  The 12-track set is the follow up to the 2008 The Nightwatchman album The Fabled City and was produced by Morello.  While Morello's solo albums as The Nightwatchman have primarily been acoustic affairs, World Wide Rebel Songs features a full electric band, "The Freedom Fighter Orchestra."  Morello stated "The genesis for the idea came when I played 'The Ghost Of Tom Joad' on stage with Bruce Springsteen.  That was the first time I had ever sung with an electric guitar in my hand, and I saw that it could be done."  On the 2008 Nightwatchman tour in support of The Fabled City, he took along the musicians who now comprise "The Freedom Fighter Orchestra."  Over the course of those shows, he says "I became comfortable melding my worlds as an electric guitarist and folk troubadour."  When describing the album, Morello stated "Troubled times call out for troubled songs.  World Wide Rebel Songs is an album of rousing hopelessness and this time The Nightwatchman has brought along his electric guitar to tip the scales.  I wanted to capture a vibe midway between Johnny Cash and Che Guevara, murder ballads and Molotov anthems." The song "Save The Hammer For The Man" was co-written with Ben Harper and features Harper on vocals and guitar.   World Wide Rebel Songs is the 14th studio album of Tom Morello's influential career.

Tom Morello will also be supporting Incubus in the US in August and Rise Against in Europe in November.  In addition to playing the Musicians United For Safe Energy benefit concert with Jackson Browne, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Bonnie Raitt and more, he has also announced a performance at the Ottawa Folk Festival on August 27th and a solo, acoustic show at NYC's City Winery on September 1st.

About The One AM Radio...
The One AM Radio began as the project of Hrishikesh Hirway's in New England, where he was studying design and photography at Yale. With a borrowed guitar, a 4-track, and a drum machine, he made cassettes for his friends and his sister to fall asleep toinstrumental lullabies mixed with staticky murmurs of talk radio. Hirway started writing lyrics and singing over his music, and began performing, using what hed written on the label on the first cassette The One AM Radio as a moniker.

Ted Leo gave Hrishikesh his real start and his first release, after the two played a show together, inviting him to come record in Boston at Radium City, Teds home recording studio. Those recordings were released as a split 7-inch with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. Following the release of their acclaimed album A Name Writ In Water, The One AM Radio uprooted to Los Angeles and signed with Dangerbird Records, who later released their second album, This Too Will Pass.

Hrishikesh started making Heaven Is Attached By A Slender Thread during sleepless nights. Tony Hoffer, who has produced albums for Beck, Phoenix, Belle and Sebastian, and Air, ended up hearing demos of some of the early songs and reached out to get involved with the recording. Hoffer took the role of an advisor during the writing process, eventually mixing the album. Hirway’s new bandmates, Fontaine Cole and Scott Leahy, added to the recordings as well as Daniel Hart, the violinist for St Vincent. Baths and his fellow anticon labelmate Alias contributed to the songs "Ticking Heart" and "Weathering (The News)," respectively.

From the announcement:

Nobody sounds like Portishead.  The progression of their albums has clearly established their uncompromising stance towards their future. For the first time since 1998, Portishead announce their North American tour this October 2011.

 

Portishead kick off their tour at this year’s All Tomorrow's Parties presentation, I'll Be Your Mirror  Saturday October 1 & Sunday October 2 taking place in Asbury Park, N.J.  Portishead co-curated these two days of the 3 day festival.  According to Adrian Utley, “We've always thought that we must come back to tour in the states, something we wanted to do with the release of Third, but our schedule just wouldn’t allow it. Being that we were asked to curate  I’ll be your Mirror, this just seemed like a good start to touring the states - it set’s it off in absolutely the right way. We are absolutely delighted to come back.”

 

Following ATP, Portishead will take the stage at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom for two nights, followed by shows in Montreal, Toronto, Chicago,  Mexico, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver. The tour ends in Denver on October 27^th.

 

After an 11- year hiatus, Portishead’s album Third, the long-awaited follow up to their 1997 self-titled release, debuted at #7 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart, received rave reviews  and has been hailed as an “unexpected yet totally impressive return” by Rolling Stone Magazine, and “Worth the wait” by Newsweek.   "'Third' is more polymorphous, more extreme, more propulsive and often harsher than previous Portishead albums" claimed New York Times.  “...anyone can make abrasive music, but few can do something new and compelling with apocalyptic heaviness” wrote Spin Magazine.

 

Following Third’s release, Portishead made their only U.S. performance on April 26th at the Coachella Music Festival after an invite only private rehearsal at LA’s Mayan Theater. “Beth Gibbons and Co. delivered bigtime, turning out stirring new songs from their first album in more than a decade. The band's warm peels of sound moved across the field like an aural massage, the six touring members locked in together with incredible precision, every turntable scratch and haunting synth gorgeously amplified,” praised Rolling Stone. Appropriately Portishead ended their set with "Thanks for waiting.”

Joining Beth Gibbons, Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley on stage are Jim Barr (bass), Clive Deamer(drums), and John Baggott (keyboards).

 

A limited run of tickets are available for purchase thru the Portishead website July 11th, 12th,13th, and 14th.  Direct Link: http://portisheadtickets.sandbag.uk.com/

 

Tickets go on sale to the general public July 15th and 16th, with the exception of Chicago, on sale date July 22nd.

 

Support for Portishead on this tour is THOUGHT FORMS.
