The xx @ South Street Seaport in August (more by Chris La Putt)

UK’s the xx will have already played a large amount of shows in New York City by the end of 2009, and there are more to announce. The xx have augmented their CMJ schedule with a performance at the Apple store in Soho on Thursday, October 22nd. Before that, they play at Mercury Lounge on Oct. 21st with Javelin and Lia Ices (tickets and CMJ badges at the door). Then the xx play an Oct. 23rd show with School of Seven Bells and First Aid Kit. That gig was supposed to be at Webster Hall, but it has now been moved to Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets are still on sale.

School of Seven Bells has a deluxe release of 2008’s Alpinisms that’s coming out digitally on October 13th. The first song on that, an alternate version of “Iamundernodisguise,” is posted above.

The xx’s November 11th show at Bowery Ballroom also changed venues – it was originally scheduled for at Mercury Lounge. It’s now sold out. Finally, they play December 5th at Webster Hall with Friendly Fires. To recap:

The xx back in NYC
Oct 21 @ Mercury Lounge New York (CMJ)
Oct 22 @ iTunes Instore (Apple Store, SoHo)
Oct 23 @ MHOW w/ School of Seven Bells (CMJ)
Nov 11 @ Bowery Ballroom
Dec 05 @ Webster Hall New York w/ Friendly Fires

More TBA? I think so.

Speaking of the Apple Soho store, Phoenix was just there last week (9/24) and Ladyhawke played the store the week before that (9/15). That same day (September 15th), Sonic Youth was to release an iTunes-only four-song EP of their June performance at the store. The record never came out, and seems to be delayed for an unknown period of time. Sonic Youth play NYC’s Terminal 5 on November 21st with Cold Cave and Dinosaur Jr. It’s sold out, but the Feelies show happening the same night at Maxwell’s isn’t yet.

The xx recently remixed Florence and the Machine‘s “You’ve Got the Love.” That is posted above. Florence will come from the UK to play an October 27th show at the Bowery Ballroom. It’s sold out, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they add another show too.

The xx’s debut self-titled record comes out October 6th on Young Turks/XL Recordings. All tour dates for the xx (and Florence) and videos for the xx’s two singles are posted below…
