Freelance Whales @ Webster Hall - 11/7/12

After Freelance Whales had to cancel their original 11/1 date at Webster Hall due to Hurricane Sandy, they postponed it to November 7, which was, of course, the day of the Nor'easter, but they managed to play the Manhattan venue this time. Support came from Conveyor and Geographer. With the announcement of the new date, they also offered an option to donate to hurricane relief with your ticket purchase.

Freelance Whales put out their most recent album, Diluvia, in October and played almost every song from that at the show, and worked in a number of tracks from Weathervanes as well. The full setlist and more pics from the show are below.

Hundred Waters at Bowery Ballroom in August (more by Amanda Hatfield)

As we mentioned before, Hundred Waters signed with Skrillex's OWSLA label, who reissued their terrific self titled debut LP (which initially came out in February via Elestial Sound) this week (9/25). That reissue comes with a bonus track, "Hydrodictyon," which they just made a music video for. You can watch that video below.

The band are on tour now, and as mentioned, they'll be in NYC for CMJ. While they're here, they'll play the previously discussed Windish showcase at Mercury Lounge on October 17 with Doldrums, Strange Talk, High Highs, and others. Tickets for that show are still available. They'll also play the Consequence of Sound showcase at Public Assembly on October 20 with So So Glos, Free Energy, Conveyor, and Delicate Steve. Advance tickets are not on sale yet for that one.

That showcase is one of a few upcoming shows for Delicate Steve, who as mentioned, play Glasslands on Saturday (9/29) with Anamanaguchi (free with RSVP), and the My Social List CMJ showcase at the Martin Room in Webster Hall on OCtober 16 (tickets).

Hundred Waters' video for "Hydrodictyon" and a list of all of their upcoming dates are below.
