Earlier in the year, band du jour Wild Beasts played a pretty spectacular and jawdropping show to a rammed, smoky, sweltering and quite probably excited Hoxton Hall. It was an extravagant setting to a performance of one of (if not the) finest album of the year in Two Dancers.
And what a show it was. If you weren't there then you're going to have to take my word for it OR you could just watch it for yourself, in full, like. What?! Yes, you should be elated to know that, as a sort of present to their fans and anyone else who's interested, they've put up the whole gig, in video form, on their official website. Click here to get in on that action.
Here's a sneaky peek at 'Hooting & Howling' and 'All The King's Men', the lead two singles from Two Dancers. If you look closely you'll notice you can download each of these tracks, too. Take advantage of it I tells ya!
'All The King's Men':
You can catch them live at the following places in the near future:
22 October - Cardiff, SWN Festival
4 November - Belfast, Limelight
5 November - Dublin, Academy 2
20 November - London, Brixton Academy supporting White Lies
They're also going to be appearing with on Later...with Jools Holland next week. So keep 'em peeled. Then, of course, there's the headline show in London at KOKO on March 4. These boys are gonna be big by then.

Review: The Great Escape, Brighton (Friday 14th May)
This seriously was one of my top gigs of the year
was really amazing. Even thinking about it makes me get goosebumps.
'twas hactually amazing.
Really love the venue, too.
Brilliant
I sent them a Twitter about 2 day ago asking when the footage was going to be released, purely a coincidence?
Hopefully not.
Cos I sent them a Tweet the other day asking them to cover She Wolf.
Downloads...
Are you able to download all of them, or just the 'this is our lot' mp3?
Got really excited
but it seems to just be This Is Our Lot you can download. A free Wild Beasts live album would be a bit too good to be true I guess.
They are bloody brilliant
This really reminds me of when I saw them a few weeks ago and i'm delighted to be able to experience it, kinda, again. Shall probably be released in a deluxe cd/dvd issue I suppose when they win the Mercury next year.
Just 'This is our Lot'
but I managed to rip the video (sadly only the audio worked...) but did manage to convert it to a decent mp3. People can PM me if they want a copy.
