Explosions In The Sky at Wellmont Theater (more by Toby Tenenbaum)
NYU students get a treat this Valentine’s Day, a show from Explosions In The Sky! The Texas post-rock quartet will join Grouper and Ducky for a Feb 14th NYU-students-only show (though it’s “2 tickets per NYU ID”). The show will be seated on a first come, first serve basis and is a benefit for the Burton CHILL Foundation. Full details, including ticket information, below.
EITS so far has announced a few US festival appearances, but no additional dates. Catch them at Coachella and Sasquatch this year.
In other news, Grouper will team with Tiny Vipers for a collaborative LP entitled Foreign Body. Mirroring, the name for the duo, will release the record on March 19th via Kranky.
So far Liz Harris (Grouper) has a European tour mapped out for March, but no additional US dates to speak of. Full tour schedule is below.
