    • i'm trying to work out where you could possibly live

      that is situated exactly the same distance from London, Manchester and Leeds.

      • at uni in sheffield

        but my brother lives in london so the most practical overnight option. plus it's only a 2 hour train

        aggressively_passive @calumlynn | 6 May '14, 00:38 | X
        • I'm at uni in Sheffield as well

          How would you do Leeds? I mean I looked at a train back for a Sunday in July and the lags train back to shef was at half 10

            • Hahaha horrible stuff

              I'm on my year abroad at the moment, not looking forward to coming back for final year. This is looking like Manchester or London for me.

  • The Ritz

    seems like quite the Mancunian jump for them. They filled a 500 capacity venue maybe to two-thirds last time out, and they've had no major boost popularity-wise since...

    petesfingers | 6 May '14, 01:00 | X
  • Yeah, the Ritz does look quite ambitious.

    Particularly when you compare it with. for example, the size of the Leeds venue.
    How many does Hackney Empire hold ? SBE in April '12 was probably at about 2/3 capacity from recollection.

    • To answer my own question:

      BarriElCastell @BarriElCastell | 6 May '14, 09:07 | X
      • Hackney: 1,275
        Manchester Ritz: 1,500
        Leeds Belgrave: 250 !

        BarriElCastell @BarriElCastell | 6 May '14, 09:08 | X
        • Belgrave holds more like 600, not 250

          Still a big gap though!

          benfyffemusic @BarriElCastell | 6 May '14, 12:20 | X
          • Hmm, 650 in the whole building ? two bars, roof terrace, etc

            250 concert space ?

            BarriElCastell @benfyffemusic | 6 May '14, 13:13 | X
            • I'm talking about the concert space

              Why would I say 600 if I meant the whole building? I'm not a complete idiot.

              Dunno why their website says 200. That's rubbish. Maybe I'm misremembering and it's more like 400 but I'm positive it's no less than that. You can fit 150 odd people in the Games Room at the Bru or upstairs at the Cockpit and they're tiny rooms in comparison.

              benfyffemusic @BarriElCastell | 6 May '14, 13:44 | X
              • I think the capacity is based and licensed on only the upstairs room with the stage

                Which doesn't include the room with the bar and the sofas at the back. I think 250 is about right. Whilst it might physically hold more people, it can't.

                Might also be related to fire regulations etc, I heard, if it isn't already in place, that there's going to be a different entrance/exit opposite the bar, which might allow them to increase the capacity.

                djodell @benfyffemusic | 6 May '14, 15:21 | X
                • Well I would be willing to swear that there were a lot more than 250 people at FotL in November

                  A lot less at Icarus Line mind you...
                  http://s3-media2.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/_X4ULbuixslL0dMkJHwGiA/l.jpg

                  Your hypothesis does make some sense though as I was definitely including that bit at the back with the bar in it. I'd still say that bit with stage is bigger than 250 cap but then what do I know.

                  benfyffemusic @djodell | 6 May '14, 15:30 | X
                  • I guess they could've accidentally over sold FotL, too many guestlist etc

                    It happens, plus that was one of the first gigs. I was gutted to have to miss that night. Hope they're back soon.

  • here's the press release

    THE ANTLERS
    Announce Autumn UK Tour inc. Hackney Empire date
    + Unveil new track 'Hotel'

    With their much-anticipated new album Familiars due for release 16th June, THE ANTLERS have just announced news of an extensive European tour this Autumn. Kicking off in Brussels on the 1st October and taking in most of the bigger European cities, the UK dates begin in Brighton on the 22nd and includes a performance at the Hackney Empire in London as part of Transgressive Records' 10th Anniversary Celebrations. Dates below…

    Wednesday 22 October – BRIGHTON – Old Market
    Thursday 23 October – BIRMINGHAM – Oobleck
    Friday 24 October – LONDON – Hackney Empire
    Monday 27 October – BRISTOL – Trinity
    Thurday 30 October – DUBLIN – Olympia
    Friday 31 October – MANCHESTER – Ritz
    Saturday 1 November – GLASGOW – Oran Mor
    Sunday 2 November – LEEDS – Belgrave Music Hall

    Following the online success of “Palace”, the exquisite opening track from Familiars, The Antlers have also just unveiled “Hotel” the equally sumptuous second single to be taken from the album, which can be listened to below...
    [private link removed - SORRY!]

    Familiars is the follow-up to 2011’s critically lauded Burst Apart which the Sunday Times described as “some of the most beautiful music in years” and the Independent On Sunday heralded as “a spine tingling triumph”. The album was recorded, engineered and produced by the band in their Brooklyn studio and mixed by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Beach House) at DNA Downtown Studios. The video for first single “Palace” can be viewed HERE ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9afJSKCOQQ ) .

    The Antlers is Peter Silberman, Darby Cicci and Michael Lerner. Silberman founded The Antlers in 2006 as a solo project and released two bedroom-recorded LPs before enlisting Cicci and Lerner to round out the group. As a trio they recorded and released 2009’s breakout Hospice followed by Burst Apart, as well as the 2012 EP Undersea.

    Familiars will be released 16th June on Transgressive Records. “Hotel” single artwork, Antlers photo and tracklisting below:

    Familiars tracklisting:
    1. Palace
    2. Doppelgänger
    3. Hotel
    4. Intruders
    5. Director
    6. Revisited
    7. Parade
    8. Surrender
    9. Refuge


    Praise for Burst Apart…
    “…some of the most beautiful music I have heard in years...” Sunday Times Culture
    “…the band have expanded their sound, swaddling typically despondent lyrics in gorgeous electronic textures…” The Guardian – 4 Stars ****
    “A soothing salve from a once wounded soul.” Q Magazine – 4 Stars ****
    “…a spine tingling triumph…” The Independent On Sunday

    • DiS album of the year didn't make it on to the press release?

      boycott the pricks

      aggressively_passive @sean | 6 May '14, 11:58 | X
      Lo-Pan, Jordan_229_2, and benfyffemusic this'd this
  • Look, another band that thinks Europe ends in Paris

    or the southern countries with all that beach, beer and football stuff have no time to enjoy their music.

    cronenberg | 6 May '14, 12:18 | X
  • I expect an Iberian leg will be tagged on. Always played there before.
