Hanni

“Hanni El Khatib is so consistent in his live performances that when you see his name on a bill you know you’re in for a fantastic show. Always dressed in black with his hair slicked back and bathed in a blood-red glow, El Khatib sings about violent love, past betrayals, and crumbling cities while backed by his equally talented partner in crime, drummer Nicky Fleming-Yaryan.” [OC Weekly]

After a successful outing with Florence & The Machine last year, Hanni El Khatib will head back out the road with Florence again this year, though he won’t be opening her sold out show at Central Park Summerstage (that honor is reserved for Twin Shadow and Bubbles). All dates are listed below.

While on that trek, El Khatib will play a pair of his own NYC shows though. You can catch him at Mercury Lounge on 6/24 and at Glasslands on 6/25. Tickets are on sale for Glasslands, and tickets for Mercury Lounge go on sale at noon.

Hanni is also playing Bonnaroo in June, and those in LA can see him for free much sooner courtesy of Record Store Day @ Origami Vinyl where he’ll share a bill with Islands, The Growlers, and a “Secret Special Guest.” UPDATE: he cancelled, and so did “Islands”? This is what is happening at the LA store:

Alright folks. The list you have all been waiting for. Below you will find all of the titles that we will have on Record Store Day this Saturday.

WARNING: We have yet to receive a couple shipments and have been told they are guaranteed to be delivered tomorrow. As soon as we receive these we will post them up in herrrrrre.

ALSO: Unfortunately Nick T had to cancel his in-store on Saturday. Dude is in Texas and can’t get back in time :(((((

So: Secret Suprise Guest @ 2pm ::: The Growlers @ 8pm

We open at 10 AM. The line will be let in 5 at a time to keep from peeps being trampled. Good luck!

Speaking of records, Hanni El Khatib released a pair of 7″s in recent months in preparation for his upcoming Will The Guns Come Out debut LP due on Stones Throw this summer. Download “Build Destroy Rebuild” from the 7″ and LP above and stream it alongside all tour dates and some videos below…
