- Label head Powell will cross the pond with Russell Haswell and Not Waving in August.
- Diagonal Records will celebrate five years in business with a tour of the US and Canada, starting August 9th. The London-based label, run by Powell and Jaime Williams, tends towards the intersection of techno, industrial and post-punk. Representing Diagonal on tour in North America is Not Waving, AKA Italian artist Alessio Natalizia, whose album Animals landed on the label in February. The noisier Russell Haswell—whom RA editor Ryan Keeling profiled in January—is also booked for some of the 14 shows. Powell himself will be making his live debut in the US, playing at all of the tour stops alongside DJ sets by Jaime Williams. It starts in Calgary on August 9th with just the label owners and Haswell on the bill. Then it's Portland and Seattle, where Not Waving will join them, followed by Los Angeles where Powell and Williams will play the Berserktown Festival. All four of them will head back on the road after that for gigs in San Francisco, Phoenix, Austin (alongside Diagonal artist Shit & Shine) and Detroit, where they'll be joined by DJ Stingray. Then it's two New York City shows—including a stop at MoMA PS1's Warm Up—and one in Columbus, where they're joined by Prostitutes, and another in Chicago, where Beau Wanzer and Elon Katz are also on the bill. The tour will wrap up with stops in Toronto and Montreal. Check out a mix from Not Waving.
