TUESDAY, MAY 31 AT THE BOWERY BALLROOM,
Doors: 7:30 PM / Show: 8:30 PM
[_W6W0899.jpg]Just sending a reminder that UK marsupials the Wombats play a special NYC show on TUE, May 31 at the Bowery Ballroom. Their new album, This Modern Glitch, finished up at number 2 in Australia and number 3 in UK in its first week. The BBC.co.uk online has already declared it "the pop album of the year," saying "This Modern Glitch is a flawless modern classic...[an] incredible, irrepressible, ecstatic, brilliant record ..." and Spin declared the album "Echo & the Bunnymen for the Internet Age."

Their video for their biggest UK single to date "Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)" now at over 2 million YouTube plays, boasts a killer synth hook, a propulsive bass line and driving beats that explode an exuberantly catchy chorus of the kind we've come to expect from the band.

With their UK and Australian tours sold out in advance, and a US tour planned for Fall 2011, the Wombats will be making a quick visit to the US for four special shows:
The Wombats upcoming US dates:
Tue, May 31 - New York, NY @ Bowery Ballroom
Wed, Jun 1 - Los Angeles, CA @ Troubadour
Fri, Jun 3 - San Francisco, CA @ Rickshaw (Popscene)
Sat. Jun 4 - Seattle, WA @ Crocodile Café

Praise for The Wombats proudly present: This Modern Glitch:

"Taking their trademark wit, self-deprecation, teen angst, and pop culture fanboy-ism, This Modern Glitch is heavy on the sweet sounds of synth and a ton of nerdy boyish ache. Don't, however, let that awkwardness skew the fact they're mature, dedicated songwriters." - Consequence of Sound

"danceable rhythms that all build to infectious, energetic choruses." - Paste Magazine

"a fun, immediate sugar-rush of a listen." -Drowned in Sound

"This Modern Glitch is a flawless modern classic... [an] incredible, irrepressible, ecstatic, brilliant record ... The pop album of the year, by at least a dozen choruses." - BBC.co.uk

"A ten-song masterclass in spiky, lyrically-vivid, synth-coloured pop ...  Snap, crackle, pop immediacy, instant and profound. Nothing can detract (or distract) from this album's infectiousness." - Sunday Times

Best,
Angie
