by | Sep 25, 2012 | MUSIC

Here’s a fascinating and cool coincidence–touring to celebrate the release of their ninth album, Centipede Hz, Animal Collective will be bringing their latest tour to the area with a stop at Merriweather Post Pavilion, the long-running concert venue after which they named their eighth album. And we have two tickets to that show to give away!

Here’s a fascinating and cool coincidence–touring to celebrate the release of their ninth album, Centipede Hz, Animal Collective will be bringing their latest tour to the area with a stop at Merriweather Post Pavilion, the long-running concert venue after which they named their eighth album. And we have two tickets to that show to give away! After recording Merriweather Post Pavilion as a three-piece, Avey Tare, Panda Bear, and Geologist have been rejoined by fourth member Deakin for Centipede Hz and for this latest tour. You can expect an energetic live performance, as well as some sweet visuals, from the quartet, who will almost certainly be excited as well to perform so close to their original hometown of Baltimore. Needless to say, the fact that they’ll be performing at a venue they found important enough to name an album after should be a factor in ramping up the intensity as well. Animal Collective will be joined at Merriweather Post Pavilion by Micachu And The Shapes, an experimental postpunk band from the UK whose off-kilter pop tunes should provide the perfect warmup for Animal Collective’s main event.

WHAT: Animal Collective At Merriweather Post!
WHO: Animal Collective, Micachu And The Shapes
WHERE: Merriweather Post Pavilion, 10475 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia MD
WHEN: Tuesday, October 2, Doors open at 6:30 PM
ADMISSION: $30-45, advance tickets available HERE

The best part is that you may just be able to see the show for free! You’ve got until midnight on Friday night to get your name into the drawing, so get started right now! Here’s how to enter:

And to make sure we’re all clear on how awesome this show is going to be, here’s the video for “Today’s Supernatural,” the first single from new Animal Collective album Centipede Hz. Enjoy!
