"Holy Shit. The Antlers" - my Twitter

Antlers

"The mighty Antlers sure have grown since we last saw them at our Interface taping. Kicking off CMJ at the BrooklynVegan showcase at, appropriately enough, Brooklyn, N.Y.'s Music Hall of Williamsburg on Tuesday, the three-piece dazzled with a loud mixture of electronic-fused guitars amidst Peter Silberman's impassioned vocals. The frontman brought the story detailed on the band's second album, 'Hospice,' to life over the course of an hour, even if that wasn't the full intention." [Spinner]

The Antlers performed to a packed Music Hall of Williamsburg last night (10/20). More than one person came up to me after the show and said "that was the best we ever saw them play". I couldn't agree more, and have no doubt now that their upcoming headining show at the same-sized Bowery Ballroom makes perfect sense. They went on after Laura Marling and before Fanfarlo who closed the six-band night.

The Antlers play their second CMJ show (a short acoustic set at Sound Fix) at 6pm today. Then they have one more show at The Delancey before heading out on the road. More pictures from Music Hall below...

Yeah, they were incredible. They balanced the delicate lyrics and the big, massive wall of noise perfectly. Definitely seemed like the majority of the crowd was there to see their set. Very impressive.

Yeah, they were incredible. They balance the delicate cocksucking and the big, massive tongue-moving perfectly. Definitely seemed like majority of the crowd was there to see their set because of Pitchfork. Very impressive,

i've seen the antlers twice, and while i LOVE hospice and they do have a reasonable amount of energy on stage, i really don't think they manage to pull it off live. i wasn't at this show so i can't speak for this particular circumstance, though.

i didn't think they were that great. they have a few great songs, many not so great. didn't understand how it was so packed and then partially cleared out for fanfarlo who were much better (even with some tech issues)
