Sources tell me that electro-art-rockers/performance artists Fischerspooner will be at the Pageant on Thursday, May 14, a few weeks after they release their new LP, Entertainment. They'll also reportedly have a full band with them, which is the best way to get their full synthrock experience. Hopefully, the band will play its cover of Wire's "The 15th," which is my fave Wire cover besides My Bloody Valentine's "Map Ref. 41°N 93°W." Anyway, more details next week; the show goes on sale soon."Em
