Sorry for posting this one at the last minute, but Accessory has just arrived in the United States to begin a short tour in support of their new album More Than Machinery. This is something I haven’t talked about yet, so bear with me and we will get both done here…

Accessory’s new album More Than Machinery
The album was released a few weeks ago on March 14th on Out Of Line in Germany. It has 2 discs, the first of which is the actual 11-track album of new electro club-oriented music. The second disc contains 3 more new songs, 2 remixes, and 4 bonus tracks that were created back when the band was still very young. But don’t be fooled by the marketers and shops who tell you this is a limited edition, I have yet to see a version of this album with only 1 disc. It looks to me like the 2 CD version is the normal version.

Infrarot.de has 45-second samples of all 20 songs on More Than Machinery for you to listen to, and they also have it for the best price I’ve seen in Europe, at €15.99. In North America, Isotank.com has it for $26.99, and while this is slightly higher than Infrarot after the exchange, you’ll surely pay far less for shipping from Isotank so it still makes sense for Americans to get it there.

Accessory’s US Tour
OK, now for the more urgent part: Accessory’s US tour begins tonight! It was just a few weeks ago that the band was still planning this tour and changing dates around. It seems like everything was finalized in a hurry and the short length of the tour shows this. The band will only be playing 7 concerts spread out across the country. Nonetheless, they are a great electro-industrial band and I recommend that you check out one of their shows if you can.

March 26 - Philadelphia, PA - Shampoo
March 27 - Washington DC - Chief Ikes
March 29 - Newark, NJ - QXTs
March 30 - Tampa, FL - The Orpheum
