No doubt you’ll have seen the Future Days line-up by now. One of the acts due to play alongside Dan Deacon, White Williams, Deerhunter (?) and Jape in Vicar Street on June 14th is Brooklyn duo High Places.
Their Myspace description says they sound like – “Two dads hanging out” but Mary Pearson and Robert Barber are closer to Animal Collective-eerieness than something as testerone-fuelled as the description suggests. Their eMusic only release 03/07 — 09/07 collates their short songs into album format. The songs are full of naivety, clicking sounds and submerged noises. I like.
Buy 03/07 — 09/07 from eMusic.

God this gig just gets better and better.
The listing is up on ticketmaster but does anyone know when they are available to buy?
I’ll be cheesed off, to say the least, if those tickets sell out before I get one.
Bit of a mad line up alright. Do they all get half an hour each or something? I pity the guy doing sound checks already.
snazzy tune
Can you beleive Co pulled off a Kilmarnock panther last night? Fooking insane!!

I believe the festivities will be starting quite early on the night. Possibly around 6.
They were on pitchfork.tv a while ago, I remember it said something like “one of the first ever gigs by this cool Brooklyn band” and I immediately suspected it was a self-deprecating pisstake. But it was actually pretty good.
