Kendal, England art rockers Wild Beasts caught the attention of the U.S. in 2008, when Limbo, Panto was released on Domino, and then again this past September, when the band dropped their second full-length, Two Dancers. This side of the pond will finally get a chance to see the frantic foursome playing live, as the band will kick off 2010 with several U.S. tour dates that are sandwiched in between a number of shows in Europe and Australia.
There’s still time to get to know the band before they arrive at a city near you. Domino has show footage of Wild Beasts performing at London’s Hoxton Hall this past summer. Lots of flashing lights and screaming involved here. There’s also a free MP3 of “This is Our Lot,” taken from the performance. Hand over an email address to obtain the track.
