Alt-J to Release An American Wave Concert Film Featuring Footage from Their Show in Kansas City Before Embarking on Their US Headline Tour
Tour Dates Have Been Selling Out FAST!
Mercury Prize-winning UK band Alt-J have announced details of their upcoming concert film, An American Wave, directed by Julian Acosta, who has directed music films and music videos for MIA, The Shins, Passion Pit, Band of Horses, and Foster The People.
The film includes interviews with fans and tastemakers as well as a full-length performance from the band’s sold out show at the Midland Theater in Kansas City. Kansas City holds a unique place in the still-unfolding story of Alt-J. As one of the first American cities to embrace the band outside of the traditional cultural spheres on the coast, Kansas City has shown the world what its residents have known for years ~ that it’s a modern, progressive city with a healthy appetite for art, music and culture.
An American Wave premiers Friday, July 12th at 9PM EST on The Warner Sound.
Check out the trailer for An American Wave here.
Alt-J, with their single “Breezeblocks” currently Top 10 at Alternative Radio, are also preparing for their upcoming North American tour. The tour, which begins in August, includes two dates in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Palladium (the first of which has already sold out) and a performance at Central Park’s Rumsey Playfield. Main support on the fall tour dates will be Lord Huron. For a full list of the band’s upcoming tour dates, please see below.
