Hercules and Love Affair Announce Tour
Now that Brooklyn producer Andy Butler has unveiled Hercules and Love Affair to the world with the international release of his Best New Music garnering self-titled LP, it's time for the record's bongos and basslines to breathe amidst the open air of festivals and the dark stink of clubs. This spring and summer, Hercules and Love Affair will make that happen on the group's UK and European tour.
We say "group" because Herc's live configuration is a full eight-member band. Unfortunately, Antony isn't one of those members, but we trust Butler & co. to come up with a creative solution for the vocals. Maybe Antony can do them via satellite!
The first show of the tour is May 23 in Brighton, and soon, Hercules and Love Affair will announce even more dates across the world.
Still no word on an American release for Hercules and Love Affair, however. Fingers crossed!
