Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power, collectively known as Fuck Buttons, return to North America for 12 live dates this month, beginning in Chicago at The Bottom Lounge this Wednesday June 11 through July 3rd at Fortune Sound Club in Vancouver.

Ahead of their trip Stateside, Hung appeared on UK promoter (and Fuck Buttons’ label) All Tomorrow’s Parties’ London-based pop-up shop radio station, ATP Radio,  to wax lyrical about the band’s excitement at the prospect of bringing the audio-visual show – the one that they have been developing and wowing Europe with recently – to North America for the first time. He also took the opportunity to lay down 3 live DJ mixes and talk about a host of other topics ranging from Fuck Buttons’ festival memories, early encounters with their future label and about their admiration for, amongst others, Mogwai and Portishead, the latter of whom they will be appearing with at the ATP Iceland Festival in July.

To see a preview of the band’s awesome A/V show, check out this clip of them performing the opening track, ‘Brainfreeze’ from their much-lauded ‘Slow Focus’ album at the Nuit Sonores Festival in Lyon, France last week at HERE.
