We’re not sure why, but at the tail end of an interview with Jason Molina of Magnolia Electric Co., Pitchfork lists the Bright Men of Learning as one of the bands that will share the stage with Molina and Co. on their fall tour. This marks our first mention in the biggest indie rock Webzine in teh w0rld.

If you read my last post announcing the show on Sunday, then you know it’s true. We are indeed opening for Magnolia Electric Co. at Rudz. But Pitchfork doesn’t typically list every little known local band that gets added to the bill of a national tour. We suspect our sweet Pitchfork mention is the work of the nice guys at Kork Agency, who booked us for the show. Houston locals Erik Carter and Jonathan Frye helm the agency’s Texas branch. Kork has an impressive roster of indie rock’s leading lights. We’re not among their clients (the idea of us touring is truly hilarious), but we’re happy for whatever modest publicity we can get.
