The Teenagers are back in a major way, with a new video for ‘Starlett Johannson’ featuring the object of adoration herself—Scarlett Johannson (or so the rumor-mill goes). The video coincides with the single release on Merok Records and the announcement of their first US tour (Toronto too!).

Y’all remember them Blamma! Blamma! cats? Remember how they did amazing things to songs from Blood Red Shoes, Headland and Maximo Park (kinda) and it changed our chests irreversibly—forever? Well, now they’ve done an official promo remix for The Teenz! OMG! <333

MP3: The Teenagers - Starlett Johansson (Blamma! Blamma! “Scared of Spiders” Mix)

Also, we’ve got a new and rather unique pop-rock remix (cover?) by Connan and The Mockasins:

More! ‘Cuz we never get enough. The tracks that started the Teenagers craze, ‘Homecoming’ (released on Kitsune) and ‘Fuck Nicole’, as remixed by Parisians Gentlemen Drivers, Brooklyn Trouble & Bass‘r Passions, & Parisian Klub des Loosers‘r Detect:

And, to prove The Teenagers can throw down a remix—here’s their take on London’s Simian Mobile Disco, reworked so brilliantly. We posted it before, but, oh so good, it’s a repeater:

We’re Teenz fanboys, as you can tell, so you’ll know we’ll be at as many of these tour dates as possible—including their very first American show in L.A. I’ll be in the front weeping like they’re the freaking Beatles.
