CARIBOU (City Slang/Merge)
Having toured around the world playing his new long play Andorra, we are simply thrilled
that Dan Snaith's Caribou is going to bring his FOUR piece Poptastic-Neu/Kraut-electro-'60's vocal influenced-visual roadshow back to Aberdeen on the last leg of the Andorra tour. Caribou's events always bring forth glowing sunshine and smiles; Come and see him in one of his favourite indoor venues, where his new VISUALS & his finely honed live sound will be guaranteed to "blow you away". An artist currently on absolutely TOP form in the live setting

"All up it was the most engaging Caribou live show yet, and one that would
have sounded even better in a slightly different setting".
Caribou coming to one of his favourite UK venues will certainly provide that......look out for a special performance and a very special night, because we also have...
BORN RUFFIANS (XL & WARP Records)
Fellow Ontarian's Born Ruffians are a three piece band who were signed to both the above labels in Europe & America on the basis of a four track demo. Built up their live shows with hyperactive stage antics, & small tours with Hidden Cameras & Hot Chip, but really honed their live craft when touring North America with Caribou for 6weeks last Oct/Nov. Here's the return leg in the UK, so Dan Snaith must like these kids a whole lot as well. Also chosen to play ATP v Pitchfork so something must be special about them.
Their long play isn't out till May but it already been reviewed in advance by
Pitchfork Review 8 out of 10
