Temples are returning to North America for a 5+ week tour, including performances at both weekends of the Austin City Limits Music Festival. In an effort to show the band as they are right now, Fat Possum are releasing the “Mesmerise Live” EP on September 18th, one day ahead of the first date of their tour.  The EP features tracks from their debut album Sun Structures (out now via Fat Possum), as well as new, previously unreleased song, “Ankh.”

Also, Temples have announced their involvement in RED Distribution‘s Ten Bands One Cause, a new retail initiative in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October.  Temples are one of ten bands that have joined forces to reissue their titles September 30on pink vinyl for the cause. Sun Structures is being shipped to retailers nationwide, and $1 for every unit shipped will sponsor Gilda’s Club NYC. Gilda’s Club NYC is a non-profit created in the memory of Gilda Radner, an original cast member of Saturday Night Live, who passed away from ovarian cancer in 1989. For more information and to get involved, please visit GildasClubNYC.org.
