"The Purple Bottle" by Animal Collective + Bowery Ballroom radar

[imeem http://media.imeem.com/m/wu0VJlplmB/aus=false/]

My favorite song of the last two weeks: “The Purple Bottle” by Animal Collective from 2005’s Feels. It’s with much anticipation that I await their album Strawberry Jam and two consequent shows at Webster Hall. Tickets are still available for September 30th and October 1st. Until then, after the jump are some Bowery Ballroom shows to be pleased about (including two Panda Bear dates).

More after the jump.

June 18th, 23rd
Panda Bear of Animal Collective will be playing solo material. Kria Brekken, currently wife and collaborator of fellow AC member Avey Tare, and previously of the Icelandic band Mum, will open, as will Rusty Santos. Panda Bear will play again on the 23rd, this time with Eric Copeland of Black Dice and Scott Mou. Advance tickets are no longer available.

St. Vincent’s Annie Clark was stunning as a solo performer at her two last NYC stops (Mercury Lounge and Union Hall). This time she returns as a headliner with a full band. Scout Niblett opens. Tickets.
