Following my review of Smother yesterday I bring you news that Wild Beasts are touring the U.S. this summer and fall and they are due to play D.C.'s famous 9:30 Club on Saturday, July 16, 2011.
I'm going to try to go to the show to see if the U.K. band can add to the magic that's on their new record; these songs seem designed for live performances and I've got a hunch that Wild Beasts are dynamic in a live setting.
Until then, follow the band on Domino Records, or on their own website, or on their Facebook page.
More importantly, if you haven't grabbed Smother yet, play "Loop The Loop" here. That should convince you that the album is one of the musical highlights of 2011.
