Explosions in the Sky @ Wellmont
Explosions in the Sky

Explosions In The Sky took the stage and ploughed through one and half hours of hugely dynamic, instrumental music. The band’s signature “soft/loud/soft” style was truly effective–arguably more so than on record. Some drum sections from the band’s new album, Take Care, Take Care, Take Care were surprisingly brutal and heavier live, proving the band’s mastery of dynamic range.

It was definitely the tracks from EITS’ 2009 album All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone that got the most attention from the crowd. The band ended with “Your Hand In Mine” to a sea of hands in the air, and left the stage with squealing guitar feedback. -[CMJ]

The Antlers supported instrumental juggernaut swing on over to Webster Hall on December 10th. Tickets are currently on AMEX presale, but hit regular sale at noon Friday (10/7). The show is one of a select few US appearances currently scheduled outside of their inclusion on the Weezer Cruise. Tour dates are below.

Explosions in The Sky will hit Europe with The Drift later this fall, but are now on the road with Baltimoreans Wye Oak. The Baltimore pair also has an NYC show in their near future, on 12/14 at Rock Shop with Pattern Is Movement. Tickets are on sale for the show that happens one day before they open for the National at Beacon Theater. Mostly EU, but also US tour dates for Wye Oak are below.

EITS’s setlist, more pictures from Wellmont and all tour dates are below.
