The Antlers are one of the many artists now over in Brighton to play a showcase at the Great Escape. It's like SXSW, but smaller, but in England by the sea. The Antlers play their showcase on Saturday, which means if you're there you can see that without having to miss the BrooklynVegan/M For Montreal showcase happening tonight (5/13) (well, happening like now). The UK festival kicked off yesterday (5/12), and we have Tim Griffin over there covering. His pictures of PS I Love You, Warpaint, Twin Shadow, DJ Shadow, The Joy Formidable, Emika and more, are currently posted over at the BrooklynVegan Facebook page.
Exactly one week ago today, or technically one week ago tomorrow, The Antlers played a FREE, BrooklynVegan-presented show at Knitting Factory in Brooklyn at 1am. Somehow it worked out perfect - I think exactly the right amount of people showed up. I don't think anyone got turned away, and we were at capacity. And the show was extra special because the Antlers played their entire new, Best New Music-winning (take that Tyler!) record Burst Apart from start to finish (like they did at SXSW/on NPR), in addition to an epic two-song encore. Their sound is also fuller than ever due to the addition of a fourth member, which, like the show in general, was a great thing. Listen to the whole show courtesy of NYC Taper who taped it and posted the MP3s (and FLAC).
If you miss them, don't worry. The Antlers will return to the states soon to kick off their tour with Little Scream in DC on May 17th. Though if you waited to get tickets to either of the two NYC shows, you are now out of luck.

The "new guy"? There's no love for Timmy Mislock? Will he forever be known as the "other guy" who plays with Holly Miranda and the Antlers?

Tim also has played with Nicole Atkins and others. He's the "other guy" only so much as everyone wants him to play in their bands, because well he's an incredible talent.
And no, I'm not Timmy's mom, just a fan.

Timmy is my lesbro.

These guys look and sound great. You should check out www.krowm.com for some other talented artists!

they kinda sound like death cab for cutie

^ Cool. Now I have one MORE band to avoid now.

For free is the only way I'd see this band again.

Note: This band is does NOT sound like Death Cab for Cutie.

yeah, this band doesn't sound like death cab.
and the show was really good.

I'm really enjoying the new Antlers album, and I can't wait for the BB show.
(Apologies for being enthusiastic about a band rather than making an obnoxious comment)

I wish the Antlers would exclusively do 21+ shows in NYC. As a connoisseur of live music, the college freshmen in the crowd were harshing my vibe.

"connoisseur of live music"
Get over yourself.

And by, "live music," he means spreading hummus on himself and walking naked into Williamsberg and letting you stupid fucking hipster gang rape him.

Is this a new side project from the members of death cab?
Posted by Anonymous | May 13, 2011 4:37 PM
^ They are called "Death Hummus"

4:25 must new to BV/a frosh at NYU.

There are one or two songs on the new album that definitely sound like Death Cab, come on.

worse than the other 3 deer bands

Timmy is ostensibly the new guy and it looked like the band treated him as such last Friday night. Dude was just hanging around outside Knitting Factory for a few hours awkwardly waiting for the other guys in the band to show up.

wow. hours? really? he just stood there. for hours? what patience the guy must have!!!
you've clearly never ever stood alone in public ever. Do you also assume that women who eat at restaurants alone have no families?
You know what assuming does, Manhattan College Freshman...

5:20 used the word "ostensibly" and does not post as Anonymous, therefore the kid is superior to all BV commenters.
On topic, the show was awesome. Thanks, BV.

5:20 loves using "ostensibly" in casual conversation, alongside words like "loquacious" and "nefarious." Clearly a wordsmith with a distaste for loneliness.

this show was fun. i showed up around 1115 expecting a massive line but it was pretty chill. really easy to get in no issues etc. they let in anyone immediately who was over 21. knitting factory sounded awesome for it also.

this show wasn't worth "free"
and the heart-in-a-cage tattoo is lame
