Hyped UK act Wolf Gang are in town making their first-ever American appearances, playing a free show tonight (10/13) at Santos Party House with Emil & Friends and The Knocks, and then Thursday (10/14) at Glasslands with Acrylics, Safe and Painted Face.

The alter ego of Max McElligot, Wolf Gang make anthemic, danceable pop that really aims for the rafters. Wolf Gang’s debut album, due next month, was produced by Dave Fridman, who I’m pretty sure has an “Epic” knob on his mixing desk. It’s been turned to at least 8 for new single “Lions in Cages” which you can download at the top of this post. If you like the Arcade Fire or MGMT (there’s a little “Kids” in “Lions”) or fellow Brit melodramaticists Monarchy, you might want to make your way to one of Wolf Gang’s shows.

A couple Wolf Gang videos and flyers and all dates are after the jump.
