*[pitchfork.com] Yesterday evening, Washington, D.C. rockers Deleted Scenes tweeted the following in advance of their show later that night with the Dismemberment Plan at Baltimore's Metro Gallery: "The Dismemberment Plan is sound checking new songs. #firsties" It doesn't look like they were kidding around, either: various e-mails from readers have claimed that the Dismemberment Plan debuted somewhere between five and eight new songs during last night's show. (A post on Setlist.fm claims they played six new ones.) So, hey, new D-Plan songs! Get excited! In the meantime, watch this video of the band performing "The City" in Japan in 2011.

The song itself meanwhile will appear on Wilson‘s next solo album, which should hit stores in early 2013.
