SPEC Jazz and Grooves has chosen indie-starlets, The Antlers, a Brooklyn-based band for its annual fall show. The Antlers will be performing on Thursday, October 1st 2009 at the Rotunda. Joining The Antlers will be Holly Miranda for what should be a memorable night of music.
Relatively new to the major indie-music scene, The Antlers have risen quickly with what Pitchfork’s Brian Howe calls a “grandiose but intimate indie-rock.”
Holly Miranda, another Brooklynite, will be joining the Antlers. Miranda received exposure earlier this year when Kanye West featured a track from her album on his blog.
The concert will take place Thursday, October 1st at the Rotunda, located at 40th and Walnut streets. Tickets (all general admission) will go on sale Monday, September 21st on Locust Walk. Tickets can also be purchased online at http://upenn.tickets.musictoday.com. Student tickets will cost $10 in advance and $15 day of show.
