Battles To Debut New Songs At London And New York Gigs

July 28, 2010

Battles are set to premiere material from their forthcoming second album at two special gigs in October.

The band are scheduled to play Le Poisson Rouge in New York on October 26 and The Forum in London on October 30.

The London date is part of ATP's Release The Bats event, which also features Beak > and The Field.

Battles are currently recording the follow-up to 2007's 'Mirrored' in New York. The band recently described their new songs as “magnanimous”.

Tickets are on sale now.
