Who Signs to Touch and Go Ipecac? Qui Signs to Touch and Go Ipecac!

David Yow likes playing music. Touch and Go Records likes it when David Yow plays music, because David Yow used to front Scratch Acid and The Jesus Lizard, two of T&G’s best and most recognized bands. Matt Cronk and Paul Christensen like it when David Yow plays music, because he recently joined their similarly minded outfit Qui. Touch and Go Records likes it when the three boys get along so well, because it permits them to see Qui as a worthwhile financial investment and a reason to work with their old friend David for the first time in eight years, not counting Scratch Acid’s reunion at T&G’s 25th anniversary last fall.

Fans of Qui and David Yow like it when Touch and Go are so supportive, because it has led to the eventual September 11 release of Love’s Miracle, Qui’s second LP and first with Mr. Yow on the mic. Qui like it when their fans are excited about their record, because that satisfaction will make their upcoming U.S. tour -- from September 12 to October 27, 2007 (dates are tentative) -- a lot more fun. Qui also appreciates Touch and Go’s global realm of influence, because they also get to tour Europe sometime in November. David Yow likes this chance to bring his show on the road, because his drunken, rambling, often completely nude stage presence is the stuff of legend.

Our David Yow bears no relation to this David Yow, who is an Evangelical blogger. David Yow The Blogger likes Margaret Thatcher, the Sacramento Choral Society and Orchestra, Pilsner Uruquell, and pointing out that former American Idol contestant Sanjaya resembles Halle Berry. I’m going to go out on a limb and say he doesn’t like Qui. His loss.

Update from Touch and Go:

"Ok, maybe we got a little ahead of ourselves when we posted a statement about releasing a Qui record. Maybe we rushed it a little. It turns out that Qui's fantastic record, Love's Miracle, will actually be released on Ipecac, not Touch and Go. We apologize for getting anyone prematurely worked up. It was an honest mistake, officer. Regardless, we remain friends with all involved, and are sure that Ipecac will do an amazing job with the album."
