We received word from Animal Collective's publicist that the band's show tonight (Jan. 23) in L.A. at the Henry Fonda Theater has been cancelled due to illness. Nothing serious, they say, just doctor's orders. Here's what the band wrote on MySpace:

"Hello, very sorry to announce that we have had to cancel the Henry Fonda.. theater show in LA this evening due to illness. We had hoped to make it through, but after sound check it's apparent it just cannot happen. We have a hold for a possible show on Sunday in LA, that will honor the Fonda tickets so please stay tuned, and sincere apologies to all, the band is very upset to have to cancel but they have no other choice. be well."

So there you have it-- sorry, A.C. fans. While you're here, check Ryan Dombal's report about the show at the Bowery in New York.
