"Alt-J
is a quirky band that, over the past few months, has found its way to
the top of my listening pile and is now my favorite album of the year.
I'm not alone." - NPR, Bob Boilen
UK-based
rock band Alt-J are excited to announce additional tour dates along
their spring tour of the United States and Canada, as well as the first
leg of dates for their autumn headlining tour. The band has added shows
in multiple markets and most dates along the band’s upcoming US tour are
already sold out. The band are making stops at multiple music festivals, including Coachella, Sasquatch, Governor’s Ball, Bonnaroo, and SXSW. At
SXSW, the band will be playing at the Warner Sound Showcase with the
Flaming Lips, headlining the Windish Party, and also playing the
Waterloo Records show.
Alt-J
are touring in support of their debut album An Awesome Wave, which won
the 2012 Mercury Prize. The band’s current single “Breezeblocks” is
currently top 20 at Alternative Radio, and climbing. After extremely
successful fall and winter tours and the recent win of the UK's
prestigious Mercury Prize Award, Alt-J are thrilled to hit the road
again in 2013 on their biggest U.S. tour yet.
These
numerous sold out tour dates are more evidence of the band’s growing
popularity and critical acclaim, which began in 2012 with the release of
their debut album An Awesome Wave. December saw the band’s debut
landing on the top 10 lists of numerous critics, including NPR’s Bob
Boilen and Robin Hilton, The Wall Street Journal, Billboard, NME, The
Guardian, and the BBC. The band was also nominated for three Brit
Awards. An Awesome Wave was selected as the iTunes Alternative
Breakthrough Album of 2012, and MTV selected Alt-J as one of their
Artists to Watch in 2013. MtvU also nominated the band for the “Breaking
Woodie” award at the 2013 Woodie Awards, which will take place on
Sunday, March 17th.
The
band also performed well on various readers’ polls, with a top 20 album
and #2 Best New Band on Stereogum’s Gummy Awards and the #2 Rookie of
the Year on Consequence of Sound’s readers’ poll. In their annual
installment of the Pitchfork’s Readers Poll, An Awesome Wave was
selected as the #3 Most Underrated Album, and alt-J were voted the #6
Best New Artist. The band’s song “Buffalo” was also included in the
Golden Globe and Oscar-nominated new film by David O. Russell, Silver
Lining’s Playbook, featuring Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, and
Robert De Niro.
