CHAIRLIFT, Now Fashionistas, Announce Fall Tour

     MUSIC NEWS - Brooklyn, NY three-piece Chairlift is busy prepping for the last half of 2009, and doing it in dtyle.  Saks.com has just announced an exclusive collaboration with the band as one part of its four-part music video for the fall MARC BY MARC JACOBS Ready-To-Wear and Accessories Collections.  Chairlift's exclusive music video shows them wearing the fall line on the streets of their Brooklyn.  Chairlift is also being featured on the "MIX IT UP by MARC BY MARC JACOBS" iTunes playlist.

And, in the midst of this prelude to NYC Fashion Week, the band has been readying for their fall headlining tour across USA, Canada and Europe with PHOENIX and The KILLERS among others.  Brooklyn psych-minded group Here We Go Magic will also be opening for the band in NYC.  As an added bonus, former Animal Collective collaborator and composer John Maus will join the band on tour, as a guest member.  Both artists are fans of each other's music, so this will be a special and interesting new collaboration!  Maus will also open for the band in select cities along the tour, which kicks off in NYC at the Bowery Ballroom on September 5 and will wrap up in the UK on October 28.
