L.A. zoothorn enthusiasts and noise-rockers HEALTH are set to, uh, make some noise all across the U.S. this winter as they liven up the Nine Inch Nails “We Need Young Bands To Open For Us So That We Seem Relevant” Tour, which has already brought the likes of Deerhunter and Crystal Castles to Verizon Wireless Arenas and Bi-Lo Amphitheaters near you. And while the urge to attend a NIN concert in the year 2008 just to see what that demographic looks like is compelling, you may find yourself gravitating towards the other dates on the Health itinerary, including several shows with of Montreal.

HEALTH hit the road October 9 at Hollywood’s Knitting Factory with Genghis Tron, Clipd Beaks, and Yip Yip, and look out for the upcoming Live at the Smell DVD directed by Bob Bellerue and featuring performances by HEALTH, The Mae-Shi, Anavan, and Foot Village — all filmed at the eponymous downtown Los Angeles venue.
