The Middle East’s 2nd US show was packed (more by Tim Griffin)
The Middle East

The Middle East‘s tour with Mumford & Sons has two NYC stops – May 17th at MHOW and May 18th at Webster Hall. Both are now sold out, and both are The Middle East playing opener.

It didn’t seem right to not let them also play their own show during their first visit to NYC. Conveniently, May 19th was a day off on the tour, so… BrooklynVegan is proud to present (again) The Middle East at Mercury Lounge on Wednesday, May 19th. Tickets will go on sale Friday at noon. Opener TBD.

The Australian band will spend a total of two months touring North America in April, May and June. During that time (they tour for a month with Mumford and) they play Coachella, Sasquatch and Bonnaroo. Two top-notch songs from their The Recordings of The Middle East EP, out now, are posted again above. All tour dates and a video of the group performing “Blood” for KCRW at SXSW, below…
